Good question. That's why I asked it :-)

In that situation I think I'd use, alternately, QRRR and SOS if I couldn't
raise someone directly, sort of like McBride did from the Titanic back in
1912, sending alternately CQD and SOS.

I wonder if he would be advised to use "QRRR",  if most hams don't  
know what it means?
