What is required of a ship station which has established initial contact with another station on 2182 kHz or Ch-16?
The stations must change to an authorized working frequency for the transmission of messages .
The stations must check the radio channel for Distress, Urgency and Safety calls at least once every ten minutes.
Radiated power must be minimized so as not to interfere with other stations needing to use the channel.
To expedite safety communications, the vessels must observe radio silence for two out of every fifteen minutes.
