I could also raise Prescott Radio (Canadian Coast Guard) which is
miles away and a few repeaters (Oakville, Fonthill, etc.).

I wasn't aware there are repeaters on the authorized marine channels.
There's nothing like that out
here on the west coast of Canada.



I think he was refering to Mountain Top Remote Radio Sites, that both
the US and Canadian Coast Guards use out here on the Left Coast.....
Actually there is a provision in Part 80, for Repeaters on Marine VHF
Channels, and they actually are used in certain places in alaska....
