That's what I'd do as well. Some personal locators will send an "I'm OK" message, too to designated recipients. And, if you don't want to buy a personal locator... you can rent them, which might be less expensive, if it's a one-time trip.

I love amateur radio.

However, if I was living 200 miles from the nearest real town, I'd invest in a good Personal Locator Beacon (or two) . The kind with a built-in GPS.

Sure, it's not "communications" but it's a one-button "come get us, we're right here" and the Search and Rescue Satellites are quite good.

I keep mine in the car.

Unfortunately , yes , I do need an amp. . We are going out over 200 mi. from the nearest real town and if we need help then I would really love to get through vs. be falsely proud of my QST skills that gets me nothing but dead air while we hike back with no medical or rescue personnel knowing we are in trouble. So , does anyone have a good amp. suggestion with experience
?Thanks in advance.
