Herman30 Addict Registered: 08/08/06 Posts: 500 Loc: Finland	I´m not allowed to read the article. Was it about this elderly gentleman who got stuck with his car and was found halfdead by a mountainbiker by accident? Read about this in our local news. What is this "SEND" Doug mentions? I know what PLB is. Edited by Herman30 (07/30/19 07:36 PM)
