Glad to see that 2182 kc (along with its guard band) is still listed
as calling and distress. That was my second favorite frequency (500
was #1). While sitting nighttime comms watch at US Coast Guard Station
Monterey (NMC6), I'd be serenaded by the Mexican fishing fleet -- they
used 2182 as their karaoke channel, taking turns singing songs well
into the night, right through the Silent Periods. Oh yes, I'd
periodically have to do the obligatory call out to them: "Fishing
vessels singing on 2182 -- this frequency is an international calling
and distress frequency -- please shift to another frequency."
Response? More singing.

Always interesting the USCG always fails to give their callsign on radiotelephone as required.

Eric,
I've never heard USCG ever do that, on 500 kHz, 2182 or CH-16 - they were always saying identification even if just to ROGER a transmission:
"WILLIAMSBURGH this is COMSTA KODIAK Roger your last, nothing further, out.
Ships would be much more informal, even coast stations would be less formal that USCG.
R/O Jeff didn't say he didn't identify, it was the Mexican 2182 Chorus that didn't identify.
Sundays! Pretty soon the Robins will be back on the lawn.

They don't have to, they're registered as a Coast Station and coast stations are permitted to identify as their registered name in ITU treaties.
On CW they're required to use call sign.
On RT, they can use: USCG COMMSTAT KODIAK or they can use call sign. Either one.
In UK, EJM Malin Head Radio used EJM on WT, but on 2182 and other WT frequencies, they used "Malin Head Radio".
Ships however did not have this exemption, they were required to use call sign and they could give the name of the vessel also. But things changed - see below!
With recent changes allowing domestic small vessels to use VHF radiotelephone without a ship station license, they had NO call sign. If these vessels went to another country, they'd have to get a station license, and a Marine Radio Operator permit to comply with our treaties.
You may identify your ship station over the air using your FCC-issued call sign, maritime mobile service identity (MMSI), the state registration number or official number of your ship, or the name of your ship.

On voice from a shore station, our lawful ID is "U.S. Coast Guard
(type of unit), (location)."
In my Monterey example, to save typing, I truncated my call out to the
singing Mexican fishing boats. In real life it would have been:
"Fishing vessels singing on 2182, this is US Coast Group Monterey....."
We had reel-to-reel tape machines recording every frequency monitored
and every transmission made; tapes were changed out at 0000Z every
day. Knowing that our every word was being recorded, we made sure that
we abided by both national and international military communications
standards. We weren't held to civil standards although we were advised
to follow civil regulations when possible.
Y'all are a tough crowd to please!
