121.5 and ELT's
I was (bored) at work this morning listening to the scanner at work and heard an ELT going off (121.5 is included in the scan). Looking up at the clock I noticed that it was just after the start of the hour so I thought nothing of it, it shut off after about a minute. About 15 minutes later I heard another ELT going off and it has now been on for 20 minutes or so. I also heard some garbled transmission that was either to or from a SWA flight on 121.5.
The question is..Do you guys in the 'big' planes monitor 121.5 or do you leave that to ATC/FSS? If you do, what is your response to a ELT activation or some form of emergency call on 121.5?
