VHF emergency freq for ships
Hi
Just read a story of a single engine flying over the sea; pic told pax to reort him every ship they spot. Pretty good idea, keeps pax a bit busy, makes them proud because they can assist the pilot and in case of an engine failure you know where to fly. But it would be nice if you could make radio contact with a ship if you have an engine failure. So is there a VHF emergency freq for ships? And do they monitor?
