Marine radio usage?
if you have a marine radio and you are not on a boat, but on a pier, and someone is pier jumping or something and needs help from the coast guard, what should the distres call say?
The only time that "Mayday" is used is in the event that someone's life is in immediate danger. The "Pahn Pahn" call is used in a distress situation where no ones life is at stake.
If it's not a life and death situation, the call would go something like this:
"Pahn Pahn, Pahn Pahn, Pahn Pahn.
Coast Guard Radio, Coast Guard Radio, Coast Guard Radio. This is (Name (3 time)) over."
(wait for Coast Guard response; they may opt to stay on 16 and tell you "This is Coast Guard Radio, go ahead pahn pahn, over" or will direct you to a working channel
Do as they request. If you are moved to a working channel, go there and hail them again:
"Coast Guard Radio, Coast Guard Radio, Coast Guard Radio, this is (name (say 3 times)) over"
They will respond:
"(Name), This is Coast Guard Radio. Please state the nature of the situation."
Answer their question in simple terms and in a clear voice. Give them only the information they ask for. This could be a real emergency and time is of the essence. Finish each response with "Over" and let go of the microphone/talk key. When the entire exchange is completed finish the call with "Thank you Coast Guard Radio. This is (name) out"
