Under the "Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act" the frequency for bridge- to-bridge communications is 156.65 MHz or channel _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 13.
The Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act requires that vessels operating on the navigable waters of the United States use the designated frequency of 156.65 MHz, which corresponds to VHF-FM radio channel 13, for bridge-to-bridge communications.
The other answer choices are incorrect because channel 12, 14, and 16 are not the designated frequency for bridge-to-bridge communications under this Act. Channel 16 is the international distress, safety, and calling frequency, while channels 12 and 14 are used for other maritime communications, but not specifically for bridge-to-bridge radio traffic.
