... National safe boating week continues with todays topic of the
emergency position indicating radio Beacon...

Emergency beacons aid in the detection, location and search and
Rescue of boats, aircraft, and people in distress. Beacons designed
for SHIPS and boats are called emergency position indicating radio
beacons. When activated manually or automatically upon immersion,
these devices send out distress signals, which are monitored
worldwide by satellites. Except for the expense of buying a Beacon,
this system is free. For additional safe boating, some personal
locator beacons are designed for use in water and may be attached to
life vests. All 406 mhz beacons should be registered with NOAA.
Additional information for emergency beacons can be found at
