70% to pass

While operating off Panama a seaman is injured. What indicator should be included in the preamble of a radio telegram requesting medical advice from a Panamanian station?

A XXX
B DH MEDICO
C MEDRAD
D RADIO MEDICAL
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) DH MEDICO. When requesting medical advice via radio from a foreign station, the preamble of the radio telegram should include the indicator "DH MEDICO". This is the standard indicator used internationally to indicate that the message is a request for medical advice. The other options are incorrect because: A) XXX is a general distress signal, not a specific indicator for a medical advice request. C) MEDRAD is not a recognized indicator for this purpose. D) RADIO MEDICAL is not the correct standard indicator used in this type of radio telegram.
