Practice question

Under D.S. (M) N° 214 art. 34 a national sports craft navigating in Chilean jurisdictional waters needs no departure authorization, but the skipper must report their intención de movimiento to the local Maritime Authority when no yacht or nautical sports club is available. How is that call correctly made on VHF Channel 16?

  1. State the station name three times, followed by your vessel name and call sign three times, wait for reply, then switch to the assigned working channel to pass crew number, destination, and estimated return time
  2. Transmit continuously on Channel 16 for 10 minutes without waiting for a reply
  3. Broadcast music on Channel 16 to test signal strength before speaking
  4. Use cellular voice notes instead, since radio use is prohibited for sports craft

Answer: A — State the station name three times, followed by your vessel name and call sign three times, wait for reply, then switch to the assigned working channel to pass crew number, destination, and estimated return time
