To quote from Wikipedia:
""pan-pan" means there is an emergency on board a boat, ship, aircraft, or
other vehicle but that, for the time beinf at least, there is no immediate
danger to anyone's life or the vessel itself. This is referred to as a
state of urgency. This is distinct from a Mayday call, which means there is
immenent danger to life or to the continued viability of the vessel itself"
Ok I'll bite...what's "Pan Pan".. I've been 99% CW for almost 45 years,
pls excuse my ignorance.

Jon, the CW equivalent of PAN PAN PAN (it should be repeated three times)
is XXX XXX XXX (again repeated three times), which I doubt anyone would
recognise or understand these days... Except to confuse the call with
adult films or very strong beer!

What's the CW equivalent of "Pan pan"? Would it make sense to use "pan
pan" on land SSB?
