How to make a call to a coast station

Wait until transmission of the traffic list has finished and the channel is free. Call the coast
station on the working frequency on which the traffic list was received or as instructed by the
coast station.
• Hook off the handset.
• Press the PTT key on the handset when speaking.
Say:
• <Called station's name (3 times)>
• 'This is' <Your ship's name (3 times)>
• 'Over'
• Release the PTT key to listen.
• When answered:
Follow the instructions from the coast station. The coast station may ask for further
identification, information on position and next port of call, and may suggest another
working channel for the traffic to follow. If the coast station is not ready to receive traffic
immediately it may ask you to wait for a specific number of minutes.
PTT only when you are talking. If on a simplex channel (in other words, a channel
that can carry only one transmission at a time), always say "Over" just before
releasing.
