🔍 Key Concepts

• Use of 2182 kHz and VHF Channel 16 as calling and distress frequencies • Procedures for initial contact vs. working communications • When and why stations must shift to a working frequency rather than staying on the calling/distress channel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What is the primary purpose of 2182 kHz and Channel 16? Is it for long conversations or for something else? • Consider which option best protects the channel so it remains available for distress and safety traffic. • Which choice reflects a standard operating procedure you would realistically hear in everyday ship communications?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which frequencies are designated for calling and distress, not for routine traffic. • Check which option mentions moving to an authorized working frequency after contact is made. • Eliminate any answers that would block or clutter the distress and calling channel for extended periods.
