Question 1 of 27070

Q

How many frequencies are assigned specifically for HF MSI broadcasts?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Maritime Safety Information (MSI) broadcasts within the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) • The specific HF NBDP (narrow-band direct printing) frequencies that ITU allocates for MSI broadcasts • Difference between general HF radiotelephone frequencies and those specifically designated for MSI

💭 Think About

• List from memory (or notes) the standard HF MSI broadcast frequencies (in kHz) used worldwide, then simply count how many there are • Think about how MSI is provided to ships that are beyond NAVTEX range but do not or cannot rely on satellite SafetyNET • Ask yourself whether some of the common HF distress/urgency frequencies are also used for MSI, or whether there is a separate, dedicated set for MSI broadcasts

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in a GMDSS reference which HF frequencies are explicitly labeled as "MSI broadcast" or "HF NBDP MSI" (e.g., 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 MHz bands) • Make sure you are not counting voice (radiotelephone) channels—only the HF NBDP MSI channels • Confirm that you are counting each distinct frequency only once and not mixing MSI with distress/urgency calling channels
