Hey Doug!
Are you talking about Globalstar?

Yes indeed. Alaska has been added in recent times to the Globalstar
coverage, but I believe the two Polar regions have not. Where I paddle
on the West Coast, VHF isn't much good at times for getting a message
out.

A VHF and ELT are still a good compromise, however.
