What is the best method of determining whether a Distress situation is genuine?
Check your 3-cm radar for a SART signal from the Distress vessel.
Monitor the 406 MHz EPIRB signal to locate the vessel in Distress.
Check the NAVTEX for U.S.C.G. confirmation of the Distress from the RCC.
Monitor the follow on frequency for actual voice Distress communications .
