is there anywhere you can hear recordings of mayday calls or any type of vhf communications??????????? on pc

Think it's illegal to reproduce any VHF comms due to confidentiality.

The best ones to speak to are the Coastguard... they may have something that is used for training - assuming that is what you want it for.

our Owners Association has a complete VHF + DSC course on DVD. You should be able to find that somewhere Eg £19.95 from Kelvin Hughes (last years price) probably available from many other on line chandleries.

This comes to mind immediately

Then there is How NOT to put out a distress call.

Then there is this for a different view on the subject.

Many moons ago PBO did a VHF Music-Cassette ... which did as you want !! Maybe it's time they revised it to CD format and gave away with mag again ? With DSC additions of course ?

Skyway bridge, scary stuff. Doesn't help that the CG sounds to be on the verge of terminal panic.

What do you expect from the "septics" - no "stiff upper lip" /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I was expecting someone to come in saying "Breaker, breaker 16 this is the rubber duck, come back, 10-4, come on"

There is protocol and there is taking the piss. Protocol is there for a reason but it takes discipline and training and a cool head when the poo-poo hits the whirly thing (<span style="color:black">shi</span>t hits the fan)
