🔍 Key Concepts

• VHF radiotelephone distress, safety, and calling frequency • Requirements for continuous listening watch while underway • Difference between calling/distress channels and working channels

💭 Think About

• Which VHF channel is internationally designated for distress, safety, and calling and is required to be monitored at all times when you are equipped and underway? • Look at which of these channels is used primarily for initial contact and emergencies, rather than routine port operations or intership working traffic. • Think about what channel the Coast Guard and most vessels monitor continuously for mayday, pan-pan, and securité calls.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is the international distress, safety, and calling channel. • Confirm which channel U.S. regulations require certain vessels to guard continuously when underway and fitted with VHF. • Eliminate channels that are commonly used as port operations or intership working channels, not as the primary distress/calling frequency.
