What action should you take after sending a false Distress alert on MF?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — Make a voice announcement to cancel the alert on 2182.0 kHz.
Canceling a false MF distress alert requires a voice announcement on the international MF distress frequency, 2182.0 kHz. This ensures that all stations monitoring the MF band are aware that the previous DSC alert was false, thereby preventing the activation of search and rescue resources for a non-existent emergency.
