Hopefully this takes care of the 3AM uncorrelated MAYDAY's we receive all the time. Maybe will lead to more prosecutions for hoaxes as well. One can only hope

The Coast Guard's "Rescue 21" system has sometimes been nicknamed "Mariner's 911" However, the call is made on maritime ship-to-shore radios which at 25 watts have a pretty good range. The Coast Guard maintains larger radio stations on shore to communicate with mariners in emergency and to help with information and navigation; they support the Rescue 21 function. One of Coast Guard's major missions is Search and Rescue, and the Rescue 21 system contributes to that.
