Module 6 - Distress & Mayday

Module completion standard

Mark Distress & Mayday complete only when you can use it in a spoken scenario, not just when the terms look familiar.

The minimum standard is that you can build a correct, concise call, explain the channel or DSC choice, and identify what you would listen for next.

Key points

I can explain When to use Mayday, how to structure the voice call, and what to say after sending a DSC distress alert.
I can apply Grave and imminent danger, Mayday format, Position, Nature of distress to a realistic call.
I can avoid this trap: Starting a Mayday without a usable position or without a clear nature of distress.
I know SRC revision does not replace the official course, exam, licence requirements, or practical radio operation standards.
