VHF Chanel 16
In the United States, the safety and distress calling frequency for boats is primarily set at VHF Channel 16 (156.800 MHz). This channel is used for emergency communications, including distress calls and safety announcements. Boat operators are required to monitor this frequency when underway, as it is the primary channel for distress signaling and coordination with the Coast Guard and other vessels in case of emergencies.
The emergency distress signal is typically represented by the internationally recognized distress signal "SOS," which can be transmitted in Morse code as three short signals, three long signals, and three short signals (· · · — — — · · ·). This signal indicates an urgent need for help. In addition to Morse code, visual signals like flares or signaling with a mirror can also be used to communicate distress. Remembering these signals can be crucial in emergency situations to attract attention and request assistance.
