Hi Dick,
Many of us always used to have Comm 2 on 121.5 whilst flying 'around the traps'.
In my former 'FS' world, it was one of our first comm checks for an aircraft 'overdue' on a call, to be called on 121.5 by someone within range, if they were beyond our VHF range capability.
It was deemed to be 'good practice' or 'airmanship', in the 'good ole days'.....
Now there is word we don't seem to hear much of these days....
NAS or whatever had nothing to do with it.
Lack of 'airmanship' or just plain common sense I would venture, has everything to do with it.
Cheers
