[BC] Emergency Traffic /was/ Studio? We don't need no stinkin'studio!

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

I've heard that before.  I had crossed that bridge about 1/2 hour before
that happened.  Real tragedy.  Then of course some idiot wanting a radio
check.  In this area, CH 16 marine is just like CH 19 CB.

If anyone wants to hear a real distress call where "Mayday" and "Pan
Pan" were used, here's an MP3 clip of Marine Channel 16, recorded May
9, 1980 just after the freighter Summit Venture hit a pier of the
Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay, killing 35 people.
