You are monitoring VHF Channel 16 when you receive a call to your vessel, TEXAS PRIDE. What is the proper way to answer this call?

Correct Answer: Option D — "This is TEXAS PRIDE, WSR 1234, reply Channel 10."

Proper station identification requires stating the vessel name, call sign or FCC identifier, and immediately proposing a suitable intership working channel to vacate Channel 16 as required by marine radio protocol.
