Thank,
Does anybody know what is the chance rescue mission will start once beacon is activated, what is the chance someone will respond on it, especially if you are not in the USA, but in some other part of the world, like South America, Central Africa of somewhere in Asia? I read books when military or civilians activated their beacons, but no rescue came (but these stories are more than 10 years old, I guess then beacons could not be located by satellite)...
