Which was exactly the context in which I gave the response about 121.5. I
can't help that Paul gave an answer that was completely out of context.



No it wasn't. The context in which you gave the response about 121.5 was
one in which the pilot was receiving flight following.



No, read it again.

No it wasn't. The context in which you gave the response about 121.5
was
one in which the pilot was receiving flight following.

Matt:
Now we all get your point, but your scenario was not obvious at all (I'm
just saying this as you are stating that it was "pretty obvious" to everyone
else what your scenario was, but it really wasn't).
The point is that flight following is better cause you are already talking
to somebody and knows where you are. No radios to change. Your message was
easily understood as "you always need to change to 121.5 in an emergency".
Use better english next time
