[at-l] distress signals

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

While we're on the subject I saw something the other day at Eastern Mountain 
Sports that surprized me.  They have light weight air horns (like the ones we 
use in industrial settings for signalling/disasters/etc.) for hikers.  Seems 
to me like the sound from those would carry better than a whistle (we use 
them during plant shutdowns for signalling and you can easily hear them above 
all the compressors and other noise in play at those times).  They only 
require that you squeeze the trigger.  Anybody ever thought of carrying one 
of those?
