70% to pass

While operating off the coast of Greece, a seaman is injured. What indicator should be in the preamble of a radio telegram asking for medical advice from a Greek station?

A RADIO MEDICAL
B DH MEDICO
C MAYDAY
D MEDICO ELLAS
AI Explanation

A) RADIO MEDICAL is the correct answer. The preamble "RADIO MEDICAL" indicates that the message is a request for medical advice or assistance, which is the appropriate indicator to use when seeking medical guidance from a station while operating in Greek waters. This is the standard protocol for requesting remote medical consultation for an injured seaman. The other options are incorrect because: B) "DH MEDICO" is not a recognized preamble for this type of request. C) "MAYDAY" indicates a life-threatening emergency, which is not the appropriate signal here. D) "MEDICO ELLAS" is not a standard preamble, and the use of the Greek word "Ellas" is unnecessary.
