16804.5 kHz USB / DSC 15:55 UTC 6 AUG 2023 - Distress Call Received - while decoding HF maritime DSC calls this morning - received a distress call.

Ship MMSI is 352001400 which according to Vessel finder is the SINOOCEAN HARVEST ... but errors are often made in decode.
This one however was also received by the USCG in Point Reyes and they have rebroadcast the distress call as they apparently consider it legit ... both calls captured in this screenshot.
