Actually you have been able to contact Bridge Tenders on Channel 13
(the Navigation Channel) for MANY years, but a few years back, the FCC
and USCG decided to move those Comms to Channel 9, when they designated
that Channel as a Secondary Calling Channel in the Maritime Mobile Radio
Service. This was advised, so as to free up Channel 13 for strictly
Bridge to Bridge Radio Traffic.

ALL bridges in South Carolina monitor Channel NINE.

By "Bridge to Bridge Radio Traffic", I hope you mean ship bridges, not car-
train bridges....(c;

Yes, I do mean "Bridge to Bridge" Radio traffic as in Bridge to Bridge
Act, which is now Subpart U of Part 90 47CFR.
