Probably not a good idea to make a regular habit out of it but as long as you can reach somebody such as another boat they can always relay emergency info for you should you need it. And from what I hear those coast guard towers are pretty tall which increases the range quite a bit. I keep my handheld on alot while out ....I cant always here the other party but I can always hear the coast guard....of course not sure if the coast guard can hear me or not.
