[K3PZN-List] ICE

[- radioman4]

Actually, it's supposed to be used as an emergency contact number for a 
family member or loved one.  The idea is that the emergency medical 
personnel or hospital staff will check your cell phone & call the "ICE" 
number if you are unable to tell them who to call & advise your this person 
where you are.
