But's it's also why there's no straight flow at Delta.

Nothing wrong in correcting somebody who is in error in my book. The lectures or saying "guard" to somebody who clearly knows they are on guard are unhelpful. In the case of the people making fart noises they do it for one reason only, to hear the magic words "guard" so don't give into their desires. So maybe if we all just did as GuppyPuppy says the right thing we make the world better.

Enough sanctimonious crud from you former SAR Coast Guard types. I seriously doubt anyone has ever interfered with a genuine rescue mission with farts or other shenanigans on 121.5. I'm absolutely positive that if a real emergency was ever in progress, everyone would monitor guard and listen in for any way to help. That's the way I've experienced it crossing the ocean anyway.

My post was to illustrate how playing" Topgun" on guard could interfere with legitimate SAR cases. I have no doubt that if you overheard a distress call on your way to OGG you would help in any way you could. But if you don't think it affects DF searches on 121.5, you're wrong.

I really don't understand why people don't get this.

But I forgot, you'd rather monitor CTAF at JNU and report on APC when Delta has to divert...talk about sanctimonious.
