DSC Pan Pan and Coastguard territories

[Athene V30]

You would expect, at least, a response from the Coastguard. However, I've noted that VHF transmission / reception with the CG can be iffy around the Roach (geography I suspect)

If I heard nothing on the VHF in that situation I'd dial 999 if I had a mobile signal

Failing that I'd get back on the VHF and make another Mayday Relay call to All Stations requesting onward transmission of my message to the Coastguard

Failing that, well I don't know to be honest!

Make 'best speed' to the vicinity of the flare sighting and assume command of the incident.

Good point! I hope in a real situation I'd have thought of that
