Sec. 80.312 Priority of distress transmissions.
The distress call has absolute priority over all other transmissions. All
stations which hear it must immediately cease any transmission capable of
interfering with the distress traffic and must continue to listen on the
frequency used for the emission of the distress call. This call must not be
addressed to a particular station. Acknowledgement of receipt must not be
given before the distress message which follows it is sent.
