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

• In UK Waters you can still use regional identifiers with your callsign
• In International Waters:– Only use the callsign defined on your licence
– Only use frequencies allocated to the Amateur Service

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
