🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS digital selective calling and data systems such as SITOR/NBDP rely on HF/MF radio propagation conditions • Shore stations often provide beacon/marker or free signals that you can monitor • The best operational method for choosing a frequency is based on what you can observe in real time, not just theory

💭 Think About

• Which option uses information you can directly receive from the specific shore station you want to contact? • Which options describe general propagation rules that might be true sometimes, but are not always reliable for the exact path and time? • In practice, as a GMDSS operator on watch, what can you quickly check with your own equipment right now, without needing external tables or assumptions about day/night behavior?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is directly tied to the actual shore station’s current transmissions • Ask yourself which method gives immediate, real-world feedback about current propagation on each band • Eliminate any choice that relies only on general rules of thumb about frequency vs. time of day rather than present conditions
