Hi Ron,
I'm astounded to hear this. I thought all the fisheries guys were using units
such as the Thrane & Thrane CAPSAT to send/receive PANPAN and MAYDAY signals.
I have one of these and was feeling rather safe until I read this!

The key finding, I thought, was that her sistership and other
vessels in the area did not have an alarmed satellite receiver to receive
the USCG's alert message concerning the activation of the Arctic Rose's 406
EPIRB. They finally reached her sistership via the Seattle-based owner's
comms. It turns out that everybody was running legal equipment and the USCG
has to negotiate a change to the International Rules governing these
satellite communications. All this delayed her sistership's response on
seen. They were commended for their response, once notified.
