Winlink is great for wx products on request and email. (after training friends to keep it brief, not forward cute junk, and reply without quoting).

Weather and social SSB and Ham nets are great for finding friends and info on locales.

In an emergency where time is at a premium, I would not want to have to fight poor propagation and the potential for no one listening while you are declaring a mayday.

I am guilty of not having an EPIRB or a sat phone to let anyone know that I might be stepping up into my (not a liferaft) inflatable!
