If you receive a message "A243" by any method of signaling, what would it be referring to?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — bearing
International Code of Signals instructions specify that the prefix letter A denotes a bearing. Therefore, a numerical group following A, such as 243, directly refers to a directional bearing in degrees relative to the reporting station.
