GMDSS GOC HF Distress Frequency Flashcards

24 English flashcards for GMDSS GOC revision. Match the five HF distress DSC and voice pairs and catch mistakes in paper readouts.

Sellest kaardipakist

Practise the five HF distress frequency pairs used in GMDSS, the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. Each pair links a digital selective calling (DSC) frequency to a radiotelephony (voice) frequency in the same band. The deck is for trainees revising for the General Operator’s Certificate (GOC) on paper or with simulated readouts.

Start by recalling both frequencies for HF4, HF6, HF8, HF12 and HF16. Then match DSC to voice and voice to DSC. The final cards ask you to read a band label, spot a mix-up between bands or modes, or check a decimal or unit. Related questions are spaced through the deck. Other bands, band selection and radio procedures are outside the scope of these frequency-matching exercises.

The frequency pairs were checked against the IMO distress frequency table and ITU Radio Regulations, Appendix 15. The questions were written independently with AI assistance, and the cover is an original AI-generated illustration. No examination questions, mark schemes or curriculum text were copied.

    Vastus

    Yes. DSC is 12577 kHz and voice is 12290 kHz. The trailing zeros leave the frequencies unchanged.

  19. Kaart 19

    Küsimus

    An HF6 distress training readout lists DSC 6.312 MHz. What is that entry in kHz?

    Vastus

    6312 kHz. One MHz equals 1000 kHz.

    Küsimus

    A training readout pairs DSC 8414.5 kHz with voice 4125 kHz. Do the two HF distress entries belong to the same band?

    Vastus

    No. DSC 8414.5 kHz belongs to HF8 and voice 4125 kHz belongs to HF4.
