The regulation distress call, sir?

Tell Mr. Boxhall to fire the distress rockets.

The purpose of the COSPAS SARSAT system is to provide distress alert and location data.

That plea is from a letter written six years ago by two boys from Guinea, Yaguine Koita and Fodé Tounkara.

To take full advantage of the real time geostationary satellite alerting capability, the 406 MHz beacons have been designed to transmit position data derived from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) in the distress messages with an accuracy of 100 metres.

A specific 406 MHz beacon coding protocol is used to differentiate between a ship security alert and a distress alert.

The course focused on providing the necessary information so that COSPAS SARSAT distress alerting could be integrated effectively into national SAR systems.

Operating on the internationally recognized aviation distress frequency, 121.5 MHz beacons provide a significant alerting service worldwide for commercial and general aviation.

The Council also invited administrations and international organizations to note the planned phase out date and the recommendations listed in the COSPAS SARSAT phase out plan for 121.5 243 MHz satellite alerting services.

The appeal posted on its Web site called on Orthodox Christians to protect our Lord Jesus Christ from Yid degenerates, using the most derogatory Russian term for Jews.

The LEOSAR system relays signals from 121.5 MHz beacons to LUTs, where the signals are processed to determine the location of the distress incident.

PLB is a small hand held device that emits a signal at 406 MHz that can be detected anywhere in the world using the COSPAS SARSAT satellite distress alert system.

Distress signals are detected and relayed back to the Rescue Coordination Centre in Canberra through ground receiver stations located at Albany, Western Australia Bundaberg, Queensland and Wellington, New Zealand.

A particular feature of this section of the course was the activation of a distress beacon and the observation of a satellite pass, the Doppler curve being detected and the resultant distress alert being displayed in a rescue coordination centre message format.

The International Satellite System for Search and Rescue (COSPAS SARSAT) provides distress alert and location information for mariners, aviators and land based users and supports the SAR objectives of the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

The final breakout session was used to emphasize the important points to take home from the training course, including a clear understanding of distress alert distribution in the Pacific region and an understanding of subject indicator type formats.

In October 2000, in response to a request from IMO and decisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization, the COSPAS SARSAT Council decided to plan and prepare for the termination of 121.5 MHz satellite alerting services on 1 February 2009.

The indifference of some European countries towards Israel s call for help during the debate over the Goldstone report was not unrelated to their frustration at Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu s refusal to freeze the settlements, as Obama has been insisting.

Tests conducted by COSPAS SARSAT in 2003 demonstrated that improvements in LUT processing technology allowed a relaxation of the 406 MHz beacon medium term frequency stability requirements without degrading the location accuracy of distress alerts.
