Best Deep Water Sailing Radio
If you were to have a VHF and one other 2 way Radio system when you
head out into the middle of the pacific ocean....What other Radio would you have, and why? Thanks for your suggestions and important information about SAILING. Joe MSV RedCloud A Boat To ENVY! |
You mean like SSB? If so, you better have a license.

VHF is almost useless in the middle of an ocean. It is a line of sight
radio. Not very long distances. You could try to hail a ship before it runs you down, but they probably aren't monitoring it anyway. SSB is the mainstay radio of the oceans. At least on the vessels I have been on. Lots of hammies around the world can relay weather info etc to a vessel in the middle of an ocean. You can participate by checking in with a group of boats as you cross on a daily basis. Everyone reports the weather they have seen. Very helpful. Lonny B "Joe" wrote in message oups.com...

It includes SSB and ties into a world wide relay net. Thanks for your suggestions and important information about SAILING. Is having a radio the same thing as sailing?

You missed the point John... they did not undertake the option of Surrender. They took a stand and defended it to the death. It is the backbone of American essence.... negotiation was not an option. Take Ground and Stand your ground. The battle was lost but the war was won... the enemy now had a benchmark to comprehend the lengths to which their opponent might venture to defend their values. Commendable, Courageous and to the man.... worthy of note. One word John... Valour! By situation, by choice or by coincidence. It's a matter of character. CM |

Check the headers on my posts and see if you can trace me back to any ISP. Ganz has been writing abuse complaints to my new newserver like there's no tomorrow without results because none of his complaints is legit and I've read the TOS and obey the rules. My new server believes and fights for freedom of speech and freedom of expression. They don't censur people because they have something to say others don't like to hear. I don't see any way you can get a complaint to your ISP if somebody cannot prove you were the one posting to a newsgroup. The headers are all mush and the complainer will not be able to tie you to the news server. You do NOT have to live under the heel of the likes of Ganz and Haight.
