§ 80.99   Radiotelegraph station identification.

   This section applies to coast, ship and survival craft stations authorized
   to transmit in the band 405-525 kHz.

   any other station.

   (b) The requirements of this section do not apply to survival craft stations
   when  transmitting distress signals automatically or when operating on
