Steve Fossett

There is still no word locating him. Hope for the best.

That brings up the ELT topic. It either did not go off or it is out of
range.

I have a APRS tracker that continuously sends position/velocity info
on the ham frequency and can easily be viewed on a Google map anytime.
Worked very well for me so far and gives peace of mind to relatives -
and useful to FAA on a flight plan. If Fosset had a continuous
tracker, the job of finding him might have been a lot easier.

You can build an APRS tracker for about $250 (no monthly fees). A
basic ham license is easy to get. It could save your life.
