Mike, Can you tell us more about the roll up j pole idea? Also, on the wet coast here line of sight is not too much of a problem since the CG has repeaters fairly well spaced down the Vancouver Island coast. >I'd rather get a VHF with removable antenna and make a roll-up J-pole. > >BTW - line of site is not too restrictive in the Great Lakes.

In other areas, you just have to hope that >someone with a DSC-enabled VHF is monitoring and can either assist or relay. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
