If you have an MMSI number and you have sent the a DSC distress alert then you need to include the MMSI number - plus it is not "Urgent" it is Immediate assistance is requested - Urgent assistance is if you send a Pan Pan! Other wise it's not bad! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Close, but no cigar!

Have a look here for a fun way of revising this and other things...

RNLI site

click "Start" and then select "Emergencies" from the drop down.

(You forgot the "Mayday Yacht xxxx " as the "message header" and got the order slightly wrong, but the lifeboat's on its way)

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Excellent..... aren't you all a clever bunch! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ah yes, I know, that goes.....

1. Lift the handset.

2. Raise the safety cover.

3. Hold the button in for five seconds.

Doesn't it?

Oh, yus. Had it beaten into me by a big nav instructor with a lumpen stick.

Long ago and far away, my mates and I had to incant 'PATHASATNIE' as a mantra pnemonic for The Emergency Message and I recall being briefed by a laconic, laid-back - but bored - fast jet flying instructor before our first low-level training sortie.....

"Touch nothing. If anything goes wrong once we're up in the air, I'll tell you what to do.

If anything goes wrong during take-off, you will hear only 'Eject!'. After that, you'll be talking to yourself....."
