🔍 Key Concepts

• VHF marine channel purposes (distress/safety, digital selective calling, intership, port operations, public correspondence) • Role of Channel 16 vs other working channels • What channel types are used for public telephone calls via shore stations

💭 Think About

• First, recall which channel is internationally designated for distress, safety, and calling – would that normally be tied up with routine phone patches? • Think about which channel is reserved for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) alerts rather than voice – would you speak on that channel for a regular phone call? • Of the remaining options, which is commonly assigned in many areas as a public correspondence/working channel used by coast stations to connect you to the telephone network?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the primary purpose of Channel 16 (is it for ongoing conversations or just initial contact/distress/safety?) • Confirm the primary purpose of Channel 70 (voice or DSC-only?) • Identify which option is a working/public correspondence channel rather than a distress, safety, or intership working channel.
