The ICOM706 MKII G

Description

Marine radio or 'maritime mobile' is the most effective means of communication at sea - HF (High Frequency) and SSB (Single Side Band) radio frequencies are used for long range. VHF (Very High Frequency) marine channels for communication (line of sight range) up to about 30 nautical miles.

Procedures

Cruiser's Maritime Mobile Radio Nets

Marine radio nets are set up and run by "controllers" all over the world (Indian Ocean, Atlantic, Mediterranean, Pacific, etc.) to handle and co-ordinate this traffic from vessels sailing the oceans. It is important for cruising yachts to know these radio net frequencies and times so as to pass message traffic, log positions, receive weather information, etc.

Amateur radio unless otherwise noted. Please listen first to note the procedures of each net.
