Re: SPOT Assist
What I'm basically looking for is a little piece of mind while fishing the Marathon Hump in the Keys. So a distance of 25 - 30 miles would be fine. Up here in NJ there is plenty of boat traffic for a relay if I run into trouble. According to what calculations you use a VHF may or may not make it.
No piece of mind in a may or may not.......

Re: SPOT Assist
I can't offer the piece of mind you are looking for but I can tell you there are normally plenty of folks on the Humps so you won't be alone. Also you will more than likely find you can communicate with the Coast Guard and Tow Boats at 30-40 miles with no issue. You may want to reach out to the Coast Guard and verify thier antenna height in this area. I did a quick search on line but did not find any good data.
If anyone is on here from the Keys, maybe they have some information that will help.
