Q

Which group should be used to send the signal "Latitude 73° 25' North"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Radiotelephone / radiotelegraph position reports and how latitude and longitude are encoded in groups • The meaning of the prefix letters used to indicate Latitude (L / LA) and North/South (N/S) in standardized position groups • Correct order of elements in a latitude group: degrees, minutes, hemisphere

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in standard message formats, does the group usually start with a letter that means 'latitude' or with the hemisphere (N/S)? • Think about how many digits are needed for latitude degrees and minutes, and whether a leading zero is normally kept or dropped in these groups. • Look at each option and check: which one keeps the numerical part exactly as 73° 25' and places the hemisphere indicator (N) in the right place?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which letter group is normally used to indicate latitude in position signals. • Confirm that the degrees and minutes appear in the group in the same order and number of digits as "73° 25'". • Make sure the hemisphere (North) is clearly and correctly shown at the end of the latitude group, not at the beginning or in the middle.
