''Revision July 2017 by W0DBW: The last revision to this article corrects the point that "Break Break" is not necessarily an Internationally recognized call for an emergency. It is somewhat of a standard in North America. Furthermore, the ARRL seems to be pushing to abolish the use of the word "Break" in any context within amateur radio. They don't want hams saying "break," "break break," or "break break break."
