ARRL published a list of primary and secondary callingfrequencies for CW, SSB  and RTTY for HF and VHF/UHF.It's a fabulous idea, it would be a major boost if SOC could carry offsomething ARRL, FOC, and  FISTS ALL failed to accomplish.Ships would use 500 kHz for Morse calling and distress and 2182 kHz forvoice (AM and USB) distress.73DROn Sun, May 17, 2020, 17:56 Nicholas Booth via SOC <soc at mailman.qth.net>wrote:> I’ll hopefully have time later this week.
