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.
Kuhusu kundi hili la kadi
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. CC0 applies to original material and generated media to the extent applicable rights exist.

Swali
A paper HF8 distress row shows DSC 8291 kHz and voice 8414.5 kHz. What is the error?
Jibu
The labels are swapped. DSC is 8414.5 kHz and voice is 8291 kHz.
Kadi namba 17
Swali
A paper HF4 distress row shows 4207.5 kHz in both columns. Which column is wrong, and what belongs there?
Jibu
The voice column should show 4125 kHz. The DSC entry is correct.
Kadi namba 18
Swali
An HF12 distress training readout shows DSC 12577.0 kHz and voice 12290.0 kHz. Do both frequencies match the HF12 distress pair?
Jibu
Yes. DSC is 12577 kHz and voice is 12290 kHz. The trailing zeros leave the frequencies unchanged.
Kadi namba 19
Swali
An HF6 distress training readout lists DSC 6.312 MHz. What is that entry in kHz?
Jibu
6312 kHz. One MHz equals 1000 kHz.
Kadi namba 20
Swali
A paper HF16 distress row shows DSC 16804.0 kHz and voice 16420 kHz. Which entry needs a correction?
Jibu
The DSC entry should be 16804.5 kHz. The voice entry is correct.
Kadi namba 21
Swali
A training readout pairs DSC 8414.5 kHz with voice 4125 kHz. Do the two HF distress entries belong to the same band?
Jibu
No. DSC 8414.5 kHz belongs to HF8 and voice 4125 kHz belongs to HF4.
Kadi namba 22
Swali
A paper HF12 distress log marks 12290 kHz as DSC. Which mode label belongs on that entry?
Jibu
Radiotelephony (voice).
Kadi namba 23
Swali
An HF6 paper distress worksheet lists voice 6215 kHz. A second readout lists that field as 6.125 MHz. Do the displays agree?
Jibu
No. 6215 kHz equals 6.215 MHz.
Kadi namba 24
Swali
A distress worksheet row lists DSC 16804.5 kHz and voice 16420 kHz with the band label blank. Which HF band label fits?
Jibu
HF16 (the 16 MHz band).
