What system reserves channel 16 for distress calls?

channel 16 I am a former USCG Radioman. Make sure you are using a marine band radio otherwise the channels do not line up. The frequency you need is 156.800Mhz. Also the you use that for calling also. Then the USCG if it is not a distress call will switch you to a working frequency that is usually ch 22 or 157.100Mhz. Also for hf the frequency is 2182Khz. Used to use 500Khz for Morse code but it is not monitored anymore. This was a real problem when I was stationed in Portland ME as they Canadian Fishing fleet used 22 as its working frequency so they were always stepping on us when we were working on 22.
