Got my marching orders and will head over to Raleigh, NC tomorrow. Gotta get there before the Storm hits. Depending on what this storm does and where it hits, I may find myself anywhere from NC to NJ for the next two months. I'll have to see where I end up and hopefully meet up with some more Alley members for some beers.

You do a lot of traveling I see. What exactly do you do again?

He's a male prostitute, and he's coming this way to console all the poor ol' biddies who will be traumatized by the little storm coming in...
Emergency position indicating radiobeacons (EPIRBs), devices which cost from $200 to about $1500, are designed to save your life if you get into trouble by alerting rescue authorities and indicating your location. EPIRB types are described below:
Class A
121.5/243 MHZ. Float-free, automatically-activating, detectable by aircraft and satellite. Coverage is limited. An alert from this device to a rescue coordination center may be delayed 4 - 6 or more hours. No longer recommended.
Class B
121.5/243 MHZ. Manually activated version of Class A. No longer recommended.
Class C
VHF ch15/16. Manually activated, operates on maritime channels only. Not detectable by satellite. These devices have been phased out by the FCC and are no longer recognized.
Class S
121.5/243 MHZ. Similar to Class B, except it floats, or is an integral part of a survival craft. No longer recommended.
Category I
406/121.5 MHZ. Float-free, automatically activated EPIRB. Detectable by satellite anywhere in the world. Recognized by GMDSS.
Category II
406/121.5 MHZ. Similar to Category I, except is manually activated. Some models are also water activated.
Inmarsat E
1646 MHZ. Float-free, automatically activated EPIRB. Detectable by Inmarsat geostationary satellite. Recognized by GMDSS. Currently not sold in the U.S.; however, the Federal Communications Commission is considering recognizing these devices.
