OK, you’ve bitten the bullet an purchased a personal EPIRB, but are you sure it works? Thanks to a company named Safelife Systems, as of this morning I’m quite sure mine works. I volunteered my services as a beta tester and they gave me a temporary free account on their website, which offers several valuable services, including checking your EPIRB’s signal, helping you keep up on maintenance, and notifying friends and family should your EPIRB be activated for real. The service costs are as follows: 1yr @ $59.95, 2yr @ $99.95, 3yr @ $129.95, which is a fair price for peace of mind.
