[EAS] NY Couple Dies

[Bill Ruck]

This may be urban legend but got this report

"In New York, an elderly couple's car got stuck in a ditch just 20 
yards from their home this week. They desperately tried to use their 
cell phone to call for help, but with no signal, the situation turned tragic. "

No technology is perfect and intelligent emergency plans should have 
multiple parallel paths.  That's why I think CAP is such a good idea 
-- it can support multiple paths.  If I could find a CAP to Morse 
converter I could even put it on 500 kcs on KSM.
