Book Description

The Global Maritime distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is becoming the all-embracing term for communication and data transfer between ship and shore, and ship and ship. It's a highly automated system of terrestrial satellite communications technology whose primary role is to maintain safety of life at sea. Within the next five years all vessels over 300 tonnes will be required to carry GMDSS equipment. The seafaring nations of the world have together established the rules and regulations for good working practices within the system, and every serving and future navigating officer will be required to hold the GMDSS General Operator's Certificate. GMDSS for Navigators brings together in one publication the knowledge required by anyone who wants to become a qualified and competent operator of GMDSS communications equipment. It should prove to be the accepted universal reference for GMDSS training.

Book Description

Pass Your GROL License Test builds on the successful "Easy Way" series of Amateur Radio license manuals.Other commercial radio license study books take you through the questions and all possible answers on the multiple choice test.

Second, the text explains the answers using plain English. Third, a summary at the end of each Subelement contains a bullet version of the questions or concepts to reinforce your memory.Fourth, many of the questions and answers are long-winded and involved. They are full of unnecessary information that can confuse you. Sometimes, all you need do is tie two words together to recognize the answer. Often, the question contains a clue to the correct answer. Hints and cheats help you decipher the question and reveal the hidden answer. It couldn't be easier.
