Description
Marine radio or 'maritime mobile' is the most effective means of communication at sea - HAM HF (amateur radio) and SSB marine frequencies is used for long range, and VHF for contact up to about 20 miles. Marine radio nets are set up 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
Procedures
Ettiquette, etc., for cruisers.
