Fake "May Day" calls


I dont understand what a non-existant freq. is but I do know what a fake mayday call will do.I retired from the Coast Guard and lost four of my friends who answered a fake may day call, on there way in from searching for 6 hrs. they encountered heavy seas and there 41 FT UTB pitch pulled and sank all 4 were lost.I hope they catch em.
 
All i can say is..

if there was no Distress and they made Emergency call..
i sure hope they are caught and have book thrown at them..

it is stupid..
it also kills those who attempt to help..

it is bad enough those who help at times die themselves in attemping to help those in distress..
to have others die in a fake call is un forgivable
