Q

A vessel in distress should send by radio telephone the two tone alarm signal. What follows the signal?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard distress call format in radiotelephone procedures (how a Mayday call is structured) • The purpose of the two-tone alarm (auto-alarm) signal — what does it do before voice transmission? • Sequence of information in a distress message: priority words, identification, position, nature of distress, etc.

💭 Think About

• Think about what MUST come immediately after attracting attention with the two-tone alarm: do you first identify the nature of the call, yourself, or your location? • Recall the standard order of a Mayday call: what words are spoken first, and what comes next in the message? • Which of the options logically serves to alert everyone that this is a distress situation before giving details like identity and position?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the correct sequence of a distress call in radiotelephone procedures (what is said first, second, third…). • Check which element in the choices clearly and unambiguously signals an international distress call to all stations on frequency. • Confirm that the option you choose comes before identification (call sign/name) and detailed information (position, nature of distress) in the standard format.
