All those involved with HF radio know that the loved emergency red button on radios is no longer monitored across Australia by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).
Austravel Safetynet has resurrected the RED button emergency call. This means that anyone in your travelling party can operate the HF radio very simply.

We have all at times had some difficulty communicating clearly on our HF radios. You are trying to relay your location during a sked operator and you might be coming through 1 or 2 out of 5 for clarity. What do you do? The Phonetic Alphabet can come to your rescue. It offers a way to spell out words, place names or even numbers with increased clarity and less ambiguity.
