Its good to keep incontact with friends. Friends are hard to come by.
Well now, 2182.0Khz is Distress, Safety, & Calling Frequency worldwide.
See CFR 47 Part 80.369 (a)
4125.0Khz on the other hand, is is designated as a Distress, Safety,
Calling & Working frequency, and can be used for all those communication
types. See CFR 47 Part 80.369 (b, & d with subnotes 1,2,3), and CFR 47
Part 80.373 (c with subnote 2)
Now I wouldn't expect a BarRoom Skipper like you, to understand the
difference, but Marineers with North Pacific Seatime, certainly would,
should, and do, know the difference. Funny how all the North Pacific
Weather Data gathering is done on 4125.0Khz for the 45 minutes prior
to the Weather Broadcasts from Cold Bay, Kodiak, and Yakatat NWS
Stations, that took over after Peggy Dyson (WBH-29) retired. There
are stiill a few of us around who can remember the time BEFORE Peggy
started transmitting North Pacific Wx to Oscar, while he was out
fishing.
