[SunRescue] note on living expenses

[Pullig, Bruce A.]

I forwarded some information on Satellite phones directly to James, but
since the PDF files caused the e-mail to be over 1MB, I didn't want to send
to the whole group.   Let me know if anyone else is interested and I'll
forward it to others.  BTW, these phones cover all of North America.
