Which logkeeping statement is true?

• A. Entries relating to pre-voyage, pre-departure and daily tests are required.
• B. A summary of all required Distress communications heard and Urgency communications affecting the station's own ship. Also, all Safety communication affecting the station's own ship must be logged
• C. Both A and C
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

Two kinds of log entries are required: first, records showing that the radio equipment was checked before operating the station—these include pre-voyage, pre-departure, and daily tests to prove the gear is ready and functioning; second, a record of any distress, urgency, and safety communications that affect the station’s own ship. Since both types of entries are required, the statement that covers both is correct. Keeping these logs provides a reliable trace of equipment readiness and the safety communications that could impact operations, which is exactly why both need to be documented.
