SECTION 5- SENDING DISTRESS COMMUNICATIONS
The following are a set of observations intended to help the user
maximize his success during the course of a rescue where two-way
communication is possible.
1. Transmit only when the channel is clear of activity, or between other
stations' transmissions during a distress.
2. Use the world recognized expression M'AIDER or MAYDAY to call
for help. Note that MAYDAY is commonly pronounced as it is read in
English, when utilized in English speaking countries. To improve the
chances of being understood internationally, it is best to pronounce the
above expression two ways:
a. The internationally recognized way, M'AIDER (in French)
pronounced phonetically as “mě - dě,” (see any French
language instruction book for further details) and,
b. The commonly used pronunciation in English speaking
countries MAYDAY pronounced phonetically as “mā - .”
To prevent the distress signal from being misunderstood, and to
improve the intelligibility of the distress call, use the two pronunciations
above when calling, for example (also, see example for part c):
