Tom does have a point. Buy a cheap phone, put it on your existing service. Charge it, test it, turn it off, put it in the glider and leave it there. I'd do that. Looks like you can still get them. Perhaps $30 on Amazon. Big deal... not. Walmart offers over 20 phones online, from $10 to $30. Many are available at the stores. Voice and text communication would seem to be adequate for calling your crew if you landout in a contest - and get a SPOT if you want to improve your chances. Even a smartphone won't work some places, especially in the West. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) |
