BASIC RADIO GUIDELINES
You should familiarize yourself with the rules on marine radios and
be aware of which rules apply to your boat. Complete guidelines
for all ship and marine radio types can be found at the US Coast
Guard website under the topic Radio Info for Boaters (the direct link
is:
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/boater.htm
). Here are
a few guidelines that affect nearly all boaters:
x
If you have a VHF radio on your boat, you must maintain a watch
on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) whenever the radio is not being used
to communicate. Starting in 2004, if a radio is carried, it must be on
and set to channel 16 whenever your boat is underway.
x
If you hear a distress call, wait a few minutes to let a shore station
or Coast Guard vessel respond. If no other station has responded
after 5 minutes, you must respond to the distress call.
x
Do not make false mayday or distress calls as a prank or to test
your radio. (This is essentially like making a false 9-1-1 call; you
may be subject to fines.)
