If you key the mike, does the TX light up? You could go to 121.5 and
use morse code. Clumsy, but possible in a true emergency, so long as
you don't get distracted by it.

OK, all you controller types out there -- what are the odds that anybody on
121.5 would know enough code these days to have a clue what was being sent
(or even recognize it as anything but a bunch of annoying clicking noises).

Actually, an easy, although slow way, is to use the identification
symbol on a VOR on a chart for a guide. I've entertained myself on long
flights like that before.
