Greetngs fellow mariners, this question came about after listening to a conversation in the local cafe during a break with some students. 

They were discussing their looming VHF practical exam and how to spell words phonetically. Along with some definitions they had learnt that morning. 

I thought I would aim this question at PB L2 since they should know what to do given that a VHF comms check should be part of the daily users checks (assuming they have access to one). 

Write down the radio turn on procedure.
What do the following mean - over, out, say again, over and out.
What is the definition of distress
Write down the following words phonetically; How quickly daft jumping zebras vex


My thoughts next week
