🔍 Key Concepts

• Flashing light procedure in the International Code of Signals (INTERCO) • Difference between a call and the text of the message • Use of identity (call sign) versus plain-language station names

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when you "call" another station in ANY signaling system, what are you usually sending – their name, their identity signal, or a general call? • Consider how ships identify each other formally: is it by spoken name, by call sign/identity, or by a general prefix? • Think about why standardization matters: which option would work even if the ship’s name is similar to another or in a different language?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how the International Code of Signals defines a call in visual (flashing light) communication. • Check whether "CQ" is primarily associated with radio procedures or with flashing light procedures. • Confirm whether the standard procedure uses the identity signal/call sign of the station being called, or its plain-language name.
