What has happened to Saltgrass system?

Interestingly, channel 16 is also monitored when sailing off the coast of Sicily, Italy. Either way, when we make contact in 16, we immediately switch or QSY to 69, 70, or one of the other designated channels in that neighborhood. 73 & keep sailing!

After you call them there, they're likely to tell you to switch to 22 to keep 16 open. 9 is the "hailing channel." 69, 72, and a couple of others allow recreational boaters to talk to one another... Somebody around here likely knows the fun channels to monitor around Port of Houston, Galveston Bay, etc. I think a lot of kayak fishermen just use FRS/GMRS, though they may keep a marine VHF radio in the boat in case they get in trouble on the water... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:*BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> on behalf of Christopher Boone via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> *Sent:*Monday, January 16, 2023 7:11 PM *To:*BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> *Cc:*Christopher Boone <setxtele...@gmail.com>; Darren Harrison <w5...@outlook.com>; Tom Watson <k5qb....@gmail.com> *Subject:*Re: [BVARC] Marine frequency wanted Encryption is not used in Part 80 Marin So lots to listen to 🥲 Chris WB5ITT On Mon, Jan 16, 2023, 6:30 PM Darren Harrison via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: Yes, you can unless it’s encrypted, but you probably wouldn’t hear that anyway.

The most important channels on your VHF radio are 13, 16, 19, 22, and 70. Channels 24-28 used to be interesting with phone calls but they are usually quiet now as cell phones came along...
