What is the international calling and distress channel found on all VHF-FM equipped drilling rigs?
⢠VHF-FM (Very High Frequency â Frequency Modulation) marine radio uses standard internationally-agreed channels ⢠Distress, safety, and calling channel used worldwide for initial contact and Mayday calls ⢠Difference between calling/distress channels and working channels used for routine traffic
⢠Which single VHF channel is reserved internationally for distress, safety, and calling, and is guarded by coast stations and most vessels? ⢠Which channels listed are commonly used instead for port operations, commercial traffic, or recreational working channels rather than distress/calling? ⢠On a typical VHF radio, which channel has a dedicated distress button or quick-access key associated with it?
⢠Identify which option is the worldwide calling and distress channel, not just local use ⢠Confirm that the correct channel is monitored continuously by most ships and coast guards ⢠Eliminate channels that are normally working channels for fishing, recreation, or port operations rather than distress
