Unlike ham radio, where we are REQUIRED to give our callsign at LEAST
every 10 minutes during our monologues which can go on for hours, ad
nauseum, I don't think I've ever seen an ID interval for marine radio
like that. It would be a good idea, however, to just say, "WDB6254 for
ID" every 10 minutes if the transmissions are going to be that
long....****ing everyone off on the channel.

47CFR80.102 requires Station ID to be transmitted, in English, at the
beginning of the Radio Exchange, at the end of the Radio Exchange, and
every 15 minutes, should the exchange be longer than 15 minutes.
If it is a Public Correspondence Exchange the Intermediary Id's can
be eliminated. If the exchange is on VHF Ch 13, only Vessel Names are
required. For VTS Traffic only Vessel Names are Required. Public Coast
Stations (are there any left?) may identify with Geographic Location,
if there is no other Public Coast Station in that same area, which could
be confused with the the Originating Station.
