Bleeding Green Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi all, I notice that some call signs seem to be 'official', as in ENS987 (this is just an example that I made up) and others hav listed them as their boat name. I am new to the airwaves, what is proper procedure with call signs. I will be launching from Port Kembla and further down the south coast. Thanks.

latindog Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Ok here goes a stupid question.... why do you have a Boat name and a call sign different to each other? I'm just asking because I'm new and learning with my first boat My Boat's name is Ofelinda and so far never went offshore or had to used the radio, can I use Ofelinda as my call sign or I need to register with something different with a coast guard or someone???

antonywardle Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I'd guess that its to keep them unique Only one call sign, but there is probably the same named boats around the place My turn now Boat: Two Blues - 5metre Runabout.

Not such a stupid question IMO . If you register with your local marine rescue branch's radio club they will issue you a call sign that is as Ant said unique. Also saves time logging on and off as when you use your call sign they have the details of your boat, car, trailer and emergency contact on file so ask fewer questions.

JimC Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 It is three years now since the last post. Way back there was a question as to whether you use your registered callsign or boat name to book on. Your boat rego opens up the opportunity to get a lot of info from RMS in NSW or the appropriate Boating Authority in other states. This could be vital if you get into trouble. YOU MUST LOG ON TO MARINE RESCUE. This for your own benefit, not ours. If you log on using your boat name the ifo collected by Marine Rescue is as far as it goes. You will be asked a series of question such as rego, launch point, number on board, destination, estimated time of return and your onboard mobile phone number. You should be asked your vehicle and trailer rego and land contact with mobile number. If you log on by app you will have to fill in the same information. However the app will log your gps coordinates at set intervals. Which means if you are overdue or call for help we can find your boat on Google maps. Please log off, as occasionally we find an overdue vessel parked in a driveway. Sounds funny but we then have to locate the vessel owner and make sure he is ok before logging him off. This may or mar not involve the police to locate him. Who said being a Marine Rescue Radio operator boring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
