this is crazy, for 11 years I always thought that I was protected better with a DSC attachment, now I find out that all was in vain??? I cannot see why they do sell such equipment and not notify you that system is not activated yet, this considering I got my set from one of the best in malta MEDCOMS.

can someone get in touch with the newspapers and inform them what has been found out? for them to charge for an mmi number and then tell you they havent got the equipment to monitor is a complete rip off

Redbus you must know that this country is more becoming like a small CUBA. There are many things going wrong and not according to laws but small voices will never get heard!

People in power here do everything to stay in power and it is very difficult to change things! Politics are ruining the place and the media is all in hands of government including what should be a public broadcast services. On the other hand we have a very inefficient opposition who was destructed by people in power and people who have loads of money!

In the menatime i'm at least learning some survival tips to continue spending some free time fishing in the case I am in danger. The idea of adding a sunblock to the list of survival equipment is very good comment!

thanks for your replies,i suppose its like the old question on health and saftey--who is ultimately responsible for your health and safety--ans--i am, if you dont look after your self, don,t expect anyone to do it for you!!

fishman · July 23, 2008, 20:25:56 CET

(Shanook) Yes i agree with you all out "Welcome to Malta" we are moning and moning and moning and no one takes action. Why dont we (Malta fishing forum) send an e-mail to Simon busutil or to the one incharge in the EU so they will know about our safety at sea!!

hey guys:- IT IS THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION FOR OUR OWN SAFETY!!!

121.5MHz beacons are being retired due to the majority being false alerts and difficulty distinguishing. All EPIRBs/PLBs will be solely based on 406MHz and include a low range 121.5MHz homing beacon for the last mile so to speak.

simon busuttil will tell you that it is not a matter of the eu but a local matter. like he told me when i asked to ivestigate about those who are being robbed by having to pay double registration 'S' and 'MFC'. you can read the letter in another topic

fishman · July 23, 2008, 21:45:24 CET

(Busumark) You're right mate, but we should do something and you know much better than me about the need of help. Now it is our matter to know about our safety. Is it working right the dsc button? and if "yes" is any one monitoring it?

And I always told my family don't worry about me I fully equipped.
YEH RIGHT WHAT A JOKE!!!!

shanook · July 24, 2008, 14:01:51 CET

yes but simon busutill knows that he can direct you to lodge a complaint that ur rights are being violated by the Gov. then it becomes an EU matter. (dont think he will even think of doing something to hurt his titty)

Simon Buzuttil is not the only MEP in Malta!
