Ed if you're referring to the Bounty incident for the rescue at sea 
that's mostly a lot of PR.
The Coast Guard does not have an email address for sinking vessels and 
I'm quite sure
if the boat was going down the last thing I would grab is the HF, modem, 
battery and laptop.

The OO's can't police the traffic now, I turned a case over to them and 
part of the reply was
"we don't normally monitor those frequencies/modes". Why is the traffic 
hidden/encrypted to
begin with? Makes it hard to self police like we're supposed to.
