  3. Maritime Operation • Maritime Mobile refers to operation on a “Vessel at Sea” • Remember that rivers, canals and estuaries are on the landward side of the coastline and are thus Inland Waters - Operation on them is /M - not /MM • “Vessels at Sea” are those operating on the seaward side of the low-water line along the coastline as marked on large scale charts officially recognised by the relevant coastal state; • If on a Vessel at Sea you may sign as /MM - for Maritime Mobile

  4.

  5. ITU Regions • The ITU splits the world into Three Regions: Region 1: Europe/Africa Region 2: Americas Region 3: Asia/Pacific • Note that UK bands such as 50 & 70MHz are not allocated in the ITU Regs and therefore would not be permitted for /MM operations • For info:-IARU Regions are similar to ITU ones
