🔍 Key Concepts

• VHF Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) use and purpose • How to properly cancel a false distress alert according to radiotelephone procedures • Difference between DSC (Digital Selective Calling) on Ch-70 and voice traffic channels

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: On which VHF channel are distress, safety, and calling messages normally made by voice? • If you accidentally send a distress alert, what information do other vessels and the Coast Guard need to hear to know it was false? • Is the first and most important follow‑up step after a false alert usually done by voice or by DSC message?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which channel is designated internationally for distress, safety, and calling by voice on VHF • Verify which channel (13, 16, 22A, or 70) is used primarily for bridge‑to‑bridge navigation, which is USCG working, and which is for DSC only, no voice • Make sure the chosen action includes a clear voice cancellation that all ships and Coast Guard units monitoring the distress channel will actually hear
