Carcano, again, I'm not saying that no one will hear your distress call, just not to rely on it. Here in the congested northeast, one radio is normally on a tower freq, approach freq or local airport traffic freq for the lower flying a/c while the 2nd radio may be on a company freq or picking up an ATIS or AWOS for an airport the aircraft is heading to.

Correct. That is why I said "usually". There are plenty of airports around here that use different frequencies, but the most common are 121.6, 121.7, 121.8 and 121.9

Correct. Unicom is usually, but not always 122.7, 122.9 and 122. I fly helicopters so no trans oceanic flight for me. Those are pretty rare in helos. I did use HF when I flew in Papua New Guinea. Those radios were used to open SAR flight plans with the gov't located hundreds of miles from where we were flying. that was almost 15 years ago and I don't remember the frequencies anymore.

I'm sure GRIZ will respond as he has in the past, but can you please inform us of the "plenty of people" who "have been charged with possession of hollow points in otherwise benign situations"? Haven't really heard of too many.

Yes, most airports with control towers usually use 121.6, 121.7, 121.8 and 121.9

Normally the only time I or anyone I know has tuned up 121.5 in flight was when an approach controller asked us to to listen for an ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) Not saying no one will hear you, just want you to realize that nobody may be monitoring close enough to hear you.

None of those ground based radios will hear you unless you are close to them or a repeater. While some aircraft monitor 121.5 at times, most, at least here in the northeast do not. Most aircraft have 2 radios and don't dedicate one to 121.5. In 27 years and 8700 hours of flying, mostly here in the northeast, I've only flown with one company out of many that had a 3rd radio installed and continuously monitored 121.5.

I've used these guys a few times and have been very happy with them. Very polite and professional. They pick you up at your terminal. Some companies make you take the monorail to a checkpoint to be picked up. http://www.longtermparking.com/airport-parking-coupons/179-newark-airport-long-term-parking.html?

What is it with these anti-gun democrats? Bloomturd must be so proud of the criminals he's aligned himself with. http://freebeacon.com/issues/mayors-against-illegal-guns-mayor-charged-with-bribery/

Welcome

This guy's was loaded and ready to go. http://clashdaily.com/2014/08/boom-quick-head-shot-bad-guy-flattens/

A pardon wipes the slate clean. A commuted sentence just gets a person out of prison, but doesn't clear their record, ala Brian Aitken.

That would be great. Unfortunately, I was told the town won't allow it. That we can't expand the footprint of the current range. Don't know if that's true or not. Also been told that with the power lines beyond the High Power and GP ranges, they can't expand.

Too bad this anti who ran it wasn't happy with the outcome. Good for Georgia! http://gunssavelives.net/blog/anti-gunner-gets-mad-when-guns-bought-in-buyback-were-auctioned-off-to-be-sold-to-public/

I always keep on in the chamber around the house and when I'm carrying out of state. Antimatter, do you carry yours on your person around the house or leave it laying around where the young ones have access to it? If it's secured on your person, there is no reason you couldn't keep one chambered. As H.E. said, things can happen very quickly. To think you'd have time to draw, rack the slide, then raise the weapon to a shooting position before harm can come to you might be a little hopeful. Not trying to be disrespectful here, but H.E. does know what he speaks of.

Thanks John. Thanks guys. May need to try these as I've run out of room in my safe.

Exactly

Well, hopefully this will go no where in the GOP controlled House. CA Rep wants to ban body armor for all but, police, military and gov't. Screw the people's ability to protect themselves. http://www.guns.com/2014/08/08/congressman-wants-to-ban-sale-of-enhanced-body-armor-to-civilians/
