I wish that I had included this web site in my response to Bob Noffs'
question about making a ground plane for an ELT antenna.

http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/emerbcns.html

Here is an extract from that site regarding our currently government
mandated ELT's:

"Unfortunately, these have proven to be highly ineffective. They have a 97%
false alarm rate, activate properly in only 12% of crashes, and provide no
identification data."
