I posted a question to ATC on the Ground Ops/ATC forum (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177463) on the above, and would be interested in the pilot perspective on a 'third level emergency'.
If it's in my (Australian) BAK book then should it be in AIP. Or, it it bollocks and shouldn't be in the BAK book:confused:
see CAR 194 (http://scaleplus.law.gov.au/html/pastereg/0/51/1/PR005530.htm)
:ok:

Spod, you'll hear it quite a bit if you're a boatie. Coastal Base stations such as AVCGA and RVCP will prefix a safety message to vessels in the area as such. This is usually done on both 27meg and VHF 16/73, or a local VHF repeater such as VHF 81 - which is a channel freq in the 167.## range (it's been too long - Zarg are you around?)
As far as an aviation applicacation goes, you'll be hard pressed to actually find a VHF or 27meg frequency that will be in your comm stack that will also be in use in marine circles, unless of course one flies a floaty, coastwatch etc!
Spectrum Management Authority have the info about frequencies that are in use by what parts of what industries. A RROCP will also open your eyes a bit, if you'd like to know more.
