Got a couple of good responses, including one farther away than I thought a handheld could reach, and one response from some a**hole who was "annoyed" that I was asking for a radio check. He said, "use another channel, dammit." Well... I know channel 16 is inappropriate for a radio check, but I always thought channel 9 was just fine. If you want a VHF radio check, what channel do you use? I use Channel 9. Herring Bay Marina usually has someone monitoring Ch 9, and I'll call them. They've always been responsive and I've never gotten any **** from them. Out on the water, I've often contacted Tidalfish guys on Ch 68. I normally call a specific marina or SeaTow on channel 9. |
