A few weeks ago it was suddenly and painfully drummed into me about the importance of having reliable communication, and knowing how to use it.
I had a choice of going to an Archery competition with my son, or to the coast. I went to the comp and stayed at the local caravan park, in preference to the range where most of the others were camped.
During the second night there my apendix decided to burst. (Did not know this at the time) Slowly getting to the phone box in the park, I rang 000.

After surgery in the hospital, it suddenly dawned on me... What would have happened if I was in the middle of whoop whoop?

Where the archery range is, apparently there is no phone reception.
The area on the coast where I was going, also no coverage.

I do have a UHF, so that is a plus.

My son is now well versed in the technicques of 000. Nothing better than learning from experience.
