[GreenKeys] OT: emergency communications

[Commtekman at aol.com]

I still have and use my Globalstar satellite phone, somewhat  bigger than a 
modern cell phone and with a little practice it is not hard to  use-

Another option would be first to get a Ham  license.
Not  really.
For casual use, yes, for emergency medical requests "any means  possible."

I would suggest something like this: A simplex phone  patch.

Another  option is the classic cordless phone. Put the base up as high and
clear as  possible. Weatherproof box etc on pole for example.
Then test your  available range with the handsets.
The old 399 MHz sets had the potential  for extended range with a better 
antenna on the base.

Yet another  option is calling one of those home health/security companies.
And asking  them what kind of coverage/range they can offer on the "I've
fallen and  can't get up" pendants.
