I believe it is PAN-PAN that should be repeated three times, i.e.
PAN-PAN PAN-PAN PAN-PAN. Only one MAYDAY or PAN-PAN is used in each
,
which I think was soon after Titanic.

You are correct, PAN PAN three times is the right phrase.

Not so, Mike. There are several MF/HF Public Coast Stations still on
the air in the US, using CW

Never heard of such nonsense, if indeed that is what it means. If
someone really is in distress they should call SOS at least everyone who
can read CW will understand that.

What's the CW equivalent of Pan pan?
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!

Here's a link that may be interesting to cw ops:

from the NMO series at:

various prosigns, silent period, SOS procedures are described in detail.

Yes, that is indeed what it means. And, since it was established by the
ARRL, it's no surprise Hams in other countries don't know it.
Since so little CW is used for distress communications these days, it's no
wonder few current American Hams know it. That's what prompted my question.
