[MilCom] SARSAT Satellite Monitoring 121.5/243.0 mhz Ends Today!

[Sheldon Daitch]

Several of the military aero clubs I've been members of have, as part of 
their
shutdown procedure, just before the radios are turned off, one radio is 
tuned
to 121.5 for the very purpose of verifying the ELT in the aircraft was 
not set
off by a hard landing.
