Standard radio logging practices are documented in which form?

• A. CG-2614A
• B. ACP-125
• C. COMDTINST M16130.2
• D. Radiotelephone Handbook

Answer: (A)

Standard radio logging practices rely on the official, standardized form used for radiotelephone records. The CG-2614A is the designated Coast Guard radiotelephone log form, and it provides the required fields to capture every relevant detail of a contact: date and time, station called or monitored, call sign, frequency or channel, operator, and a concise record of the communication or action taken. Having a single, formal log form ensures consistency across units, makes it easy to retrieve records for safety investigations, audits, or regulatory compliance, and reduces ambiguity in how communications are documented. The Radiotelephone Handbook is a general reference for operating radiotelephone procedures, not the standardized log form itself. The ACP-125 and COMDTINST M16130.2 cover different topics or procedures, not the specific logging format used for routine radiotelephone contacts.
