Jochen asked: <<< 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.
