🔍 Key Concepts

• Digital Selective Calling (DSC) distress & safety calling on HF (High Frequency) bands • Difference between MF (2187.5 kHz) and HF DSC distress frequencies • ITU/IMO GMDSS table of HF DSC distress and safety frequencies

💭 Think About

• List the HF marine bands that have dedicated DSC distress and safety frequencies under GMDSS (for example, 4 MHz, 6 MHz, etc.) • Count only the HF DSC distress-related calling frequencies, not voice or NBDP, and not MF • Think about why multiple HF bands are used for distress: how does propagation at different times of day/season affect the number of bands chosen?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are counting only HF, not including the MF DSC distress frequency at 2187.5 kHz • Use the GMDSS HF DSC distress and safety frequency table (in ITU/IMO references) to see how many distinct HF DSC distress frequencies there are • Confirm you are counting frequencies, not bands or channels, and not mixing in radiotelephony distress frequencies like 4125, 6215, etc.
