Do the whalewatching boats in the San Juans use a standard channel to
communicate? My understanding is that they cooperate so the industry
as a whole is more successful, and it would be handy to listen in when
sailing or kayaking.
My understanding is they pool for a spotter plane. I don't know if
that would affect channel options.
I don't think planes would normally use marine frequencies.
Use of a plane opens up a number of other possibilities, not all of
which would be easily accessible. Very reasonably, they could try to
restrict access to only those who have paid for it.
Happy trails,
