Question 2939Deck General70% to pass
You are standing radio watch and monitoring VHF Channel 16 when you receive a call to your rig, TEXAS STAR, from a supply boat. What is the proper way to answer this call?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) "This is TEXAS STAR, WSR 1234, reply Channel 10."
This is the proper way to answer the call because it follows the standard radio communication protocol. The caller is on VHF Channel 16, which is the international distress, safety, and calling channel. By responding with your vessel's name, call sign, and instructing the caller to switch to Channel 10, you are efficiently handling the call while keeping Channel 16 clear for emergency traffic.
The other options are incorrect because: A) does not specify a working channel, B) puts the caller on hold without a clear plan, and C) does not provide the necessary information for the caller to respond on a different channel.
