Sec. 80.328 Urgency message.
Link to an amendment published at 73 FR 4485 , Jan. 25, 2008.
(a) The urgency signal and call, and the message following it, must be sent
on one of the international distress frequencies. Stations which cannot
transmit on a distress frequency may use any other available frequency on
which attention might be attracted.
(b) Mobile stations which hear the urgency signal must continue to listen
for at least three minutes. At the end of this period, if no urgency message
has been heard, they may resume their normal service. However, land and
mobile stations which are in communication on frequencies other than those
used for the transmission of the urgency signal and of the call which
follows it may continue their normal work without interruption provided the
urgency message is not addressed “to all stations”.
(c) When the urgency signal has been sent before transmitting a message “to
all stations” which calls for action by the stations receiving the message,
the station responsible for its transmission must cancel it as soon as it
knows that action is no longer necessary. This message of cancellation must
likewise be addressed “to all stations”.
