Come up with some good ideas, and maybe I will implement one!

What the hell, there are so many rules and regulations that the rule
makers are lost. I climb 9,000 ft mountains near a 16 million
population, and my phone will probably blast them all. I am not in an
aircraft, so I'm legal, but I might as well be. I fly over the same
mtns and would like to have the ability to have someone be able to
track my position by GPS. My granddaughter landed in the big nasty
mountains and spent the night in "God knew nowhere". She managed a
safe landing but search and rescue had to be called. If the highly
respected geniuses can create a thing like B Baum describes, surely
some one can figure that it would save lives and money in search and
rescue. Better than an ELT. Think about the search for Faucett last
year.
Let's pray that progress continues and is not stopped by some dumb ass
legislator that likes to make rules. F Robinson.
