I don't disagree with most of the above, except it would surprise me
if,
as a Federal Government Agency, that the Coast Guard had different
scripts
in the training programs.
I've never heard a Coast Guard Pan Pan call in your area, so I can't
judge.

BTW ... the "script" around here is close to .... "vessels in the area
are
instructed to keep a sharp lookout and to provide assistance, if
possible"

The wording may not be exact ... I'll check it when I get back to the
boat
and look it up along with the "legal obligation" to assist reference I
alluded to. My "stuff" is on the boat.

I don't recall hearing the term "sharp lookout" used in the standard
marine assistance broadcast in the NW.

Could you get the script and post it here? We must have accurate
information.

Why?

Whatever verbiage your particular USCG district chooses to use is
perdectly fine. I wasn't aware that there were differences, but as
Eisboch is remarking that he has never heard some of the terms I am
quoting and I have never heard some of the terms he is quoting
apparently there are different procedures.

A script is used because each time a broadcast goes out the wording is
exactly the same, regardless of the radio operator on duty.
