John M has been using an Iridium phone supplied by PSN for a while now. On the note below, he highlights the 'insurance' value of his Iridium phone"

"Hi Don,

wpe2.jpg (35864 bytes)Here's a shot of I-87 with my wife Cathy, N2FOU, holding the Iridium at the Schroon Lake Rest Area. This is just to the South of the actual spot where we got stuck, going up North, a few weeks before.

Right after we left this rest area, Cathy ran over some truck re-tread casings and blew a rear tire! We were lucky as we just got back into the AT&T cell service or I would have had at least a 20-minute Iridium phone bill. The North Jersey AAA took a while to figure out where we were calling from and then gave us a local number to call for help. In the meantime, I had managed to unfreeze the lug nuts and had changed the van's tire. I was then surprised to find that the spare had only 15 pounds of air! The tow truck showed up right on time and followed us for 3 miles to the exit. We inflated the spare and then we drove about 20 miles to buy a replacement for the blow-out. Anyway, while we didn't need to use it, this proves, just having an Iridium on these poor cell coverage roads is really cheap insurance. And, if I was thinking (I really was too hot, sweaty and dirty to think!) I should of had Cathy stand by the van, while it was up on the jack, making believe she was getting ready to make a call for help! 

73, John, KB2KH"
