Hearing my local CG station making periodical announcements starting with (Pompay, Pompay, Pompay) then sometimes something else. Three repetitive words. What does that mean? Attention?
I believe you're referring to "PAN-PAN"What does that mean? Attention?
That's it.....thank you. Is there any other same three word announcements I can be listening for?
Get into HF and you can hear ocean rescues. I'm on the west coast and have heard rescues near Hawaii.
An HF/shortwave receiver and antenna.How do I do that?
Yes. A scanner will not receive the necessary frequencies, nor the USB mode of signal. You could use an online radio to listen, like KiwiSDR offers.I don't own any receiver(s), just scanners. Will that matter?
Thanks for your recommendation of KiwiSDR. I see you tune to different frequencies. Any suggestions freqs for listening to Marine broadcasts.Yes. A scanner will not receive the necessary frequencies, nor the USB mode of signal. You could use an online radio to listen, like KiwiSDR offers.
