In a spoken MAYDAY message, what comes straight after you have said who you are?
A MAYDAY procedure card with numbered lines. Line 1: MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY. Line 2: THIS IS, then name three times, call sign and MMSI. Line 3: MAYDAY, name, call sign, MMSI. Line 4 is highlighted and shows only a question mark. Lines 5 to 7 are blanked out.

Your position. The order is: MAYDAY and who you are, your position, the nature of the distress, the assistance you need, the number of people on board, any other useful information, then "over". Position comes early so that rescuers know where to look even if the call is cut short.
