A “small frequency radio”? /facepalm

What, you’ve never heard of short wave radio?

I’ll show myself out.

I’m guessing that’s a translation error for VHF, i.e. a regular marine radio which has a range of 20 miles at best. A satellite emergency beacon would have brought rescue in hours.

How about this:

“after managing to send a radio frequency to a tanker”

I wonder if English is not this person’s first language or if they are truly this ignorant.
