Ken-

I remembered your bad experience, and the Apelco 520 charging base does
indeed now have a charging light! They have the 510 on close-out at West
Marine.

For some reason, I thought you had the ICOM M-15, so I stayed clear of
that one.

And yes, I did see that FCC info. Thanks to everyone who responded.
What do (or can) you use as your call-sign? When you transmit your
mayday, do you just say "This is windsurfer Ed Scott near channel marker
8" or just "Help!"?
