Shore stations talk on "marine" bands, all the time and truth be known, spotter planes working for fishermen do the same (stated without regard to petty legalities that may apply or be circumvented). BTW, it can be said that marine bands ARE AM/FM, though the average boater doesn't use AM. otn |

Mike When I first started sailing, most of our ship to ship traffic was conducted using AM - 2182, etc (g forget the other "channels" ). Once VHF came into common use, although many kept the AM radios for awhile, AM became SSB and something that generally was only used on larger offshore boats. Someone with a technical background can give a better description of this and correct any acronym errors. otn |
