The aviation equivalent of Seelonce Mayday is the phrase or command "Stop Transmitting - Distress (or Mayday)". Once the need for radio silence is finished, the controlling station lifts radio silence by the prowords "Seelonce FINI." Disobeying a Seelonce Mayday order constitutes a serious criminal offence in most countries. (The word uses an approximation of the French pronunciation of the word silence, "See-LAWNCE."). In the latter case, the controlling station can order other stations to stop transmitting with the proword "Seelonce Seelonce Seelonce". Radio silence can be used in nautical and aeronautical communications to allow faint distress calls to be heard (see Mayday).
MAINTAIN RADIO SILENCE MANUAL
Radio room clock, showing the 500 kHz silence periods (red wedges), the 2182 kHz silence periods (green wedges), and alternating red and white bars around the circumference to aid manual transmission of the 4-second SOLAS signal. CQ like calls (to see who is out there) should not take place until after 4 minutes after the hour. Priority transmissions should begin with the LITZ (Long Interval Tone Zero or Long Time Zero) DTMF signal for at least 5 seconds. A ham in a remote location may be able to relay emergency information through another wilderness ham who has better access to a repeater. The Wilderness protocol (see page 101, August 1995 QST) calls for hams in the wilderness to announce their presence on, and to monitor, the national calling frequencies for five minutes beginning at the top of the hour, every three hours from 7 AM to 7 PM while in the back country. The Wilderness Protocol is now included in both the ARRL ARES Field Resources Manual and the ARES Emergency Resources Manual. Plow, Mr.The Wilderness Protocol recommends that those stations able to do so should monitor the primary (and secondary, if possible) frequency every three hours starting at 7 AM, local time, for 5 minutes starting at the top of every hour, or even continuously. Tags: Houston, Maintain Radio Silence, Mr. The pic is from our recent gig at Rudz with Ape Machine, Pyreship, and The Dirty Seeds. I’ve never been more excited about the music we’re creating. We’re also in the process of getting our first three albums on iTunes and Spotify and other streaming services. We’re talking about releasing this on vinyl as a double album. We’ve all been recording demos of ideas and sharing them back and forth, building the songs up before we even get together to work on them as a unit. The new songs are clearly Plow songs but are also a clear evolution in our sound: shorter, punchier, and maybe heavier than anything we’ve done before. Cory’s energy and musical inventiveness have given us renewed life and drive to rock. It will be the first album with Cory on drums.
The title of the new album will be Maintain Radio Silence. We’ve got studio time on the calendar for the last two weeks in September at Lucky Run studios in Houston, where our bandmate, Cory Cousins, recorded with his other band, Blues Funeral. We’ve now written 14(!) new tunes, and have been regularly playing more than half of them live. We then went into a long hiatus while I (Greg) moved to Florida for three years. Our last album, Asteroid 25399, was released in 2006. Well, folks, it’s been a long time since we’ve recorded. They posted the following on their website: Seems to me more likely it’ll be out in 2018 than 2017, but it’s one to watch for nonetheless, as these guys were always underrated as songwriters and after more than a decade, I’m intrigued to hear the glut of material they’ve apparently come up with and how it’s evolved from where they ended their initial run, which was some of their best work. Plow have announced they’re back and will hit the studio this September to record a new album, to be titled Maintain Radio Silence. Last time I wrote about them in more than an off-hand referential way was in 2009, so yeah, it’s been a minute, but Mr. Just a group of dudes having a good time playing cool tunes. Aside from the quality of their songwriting across their three records, 2000’s Head On, 2003’s Cock Fights and Pony Racin’ and 2006’s Kurt Vonnegut-themed Asteroid 25399, the charm of their references to Carlo Rossi, The Big Lebowski, and of course The Simpsons - among many others - went a long way in presenting a down-to-earth attitude that made it that much easier to relate to where they were coming from. I always liked the Houston-based post- Fu Manchu heavy rockers, from whose lineup the likes of Sanctus Bellum and Blues Funeral at least in part sprang.
