From Waterskier1: Use even in an emergency is a violation. Each of us would have to weigh violating the law versus the potential risk of safety by not doing so. I personally know of hikers whose lives’ were saved by illegally transmitting on VHF marine frequencies, and were cited for the illegal operation by the FCC.



Better to argue this in court yourself with the FCC than have your heirs argue over your will :)
