Until February 1, 2005, each compulsory vessel, while underway, must maintain a watch for radiotelephone distress calls on 156.800 MHz whenever such station is not being used for exchanging communications.

  • extend the watch requirement until February 1, 2005. In light of the Task Force's comments indicating that we should reflect an extension of the Channel 16 watch requirement both in Section 80.305(a)(3) and in Section 80.1123, we will make the appropriate revisions to both of these rules. Thus, the Channel 16 watch requirement will appear in Subparts C (in Section 80.148), G and W. Watch Requirements on 2182 kHz Background. Sections 80.305(a)(2), (b)(1), and 80.1123(d) of our Rules govern watch requirements on 2182 kHz. The ITU, however, recommends that vessels voluntarily maintain such a watch when a significant number of non-compulsory vessels are in the vicinity. In the Notice, the Commission sought comment as to the practicality of a voluntary watch,

  • international Radio Regulations permit DSC relays, and we see no reason for the Part 80 rules to diverge from the international standards on this point. In sum, we believe that Sections 80.1117 and 80.1121, as currently written, clearly and properly neither mandate nor prohibit the use of DSC in relaying distress alerts. Channel 16 Watch Requirement Compulsory Vessels Background. Sections 80.148, 80.305 and 80.1123 of the Commission's Rules require compulsory ships at sea to maintain a continuous watch on maritime VHF Channel 16 (156.800 MHz). Each of the rules includes a sunset date, i.e., a date on which the Channel 16 watch requirement would terminate by its own terms. In the Report and Order, the Commission extended that sunset date from
