🔍 Key Concepts

• Distress traffic has absolute priority on VHF Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) • If no reply is received, you should try to reach any station by any other available means • Think about which option actually increases the number of people who might hear your distress

💭 Think About

• Which choice best follows the idea: "If you can’t reach help one way, use another path to reach as many stations as possible"? • Does adjusting your own receiver volume change whether other vessels and shore stations can hear your transmission? • Which option reflects accepted distress procedures under GMDSS and basic VHF practices to use all suitable channels and systems to raise an alarm?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option actually changes the channel or method used to call for help • Check which answers only affect your own equipment locally but not how widely your distress call is broadcast • Eliminate any option that does not increase your chances of being heard by more stations or by any station at all
