to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.

When the hailing channel (16 or 9) is clear, state the name of the other vessel

you wish to call and then “this is” followed by the name of your vessel and

your Station License (Call Sign). When the other vessel returns your call, im-

mediately request another channel by saying “go to,” the number of the other

channel, and “over.” Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel

is not busy, call the other vessel.

After a transmission, say “over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk

(PTT) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end

the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.” Note that it

is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the

beginning and end of the contact.

Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some

radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or

when scanning.

8.6 MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS

To make a radiotelephone call, use a channel designated for this purpose, The

fastest way to learn which channels are used for radiotelephone traffic is to

ask at a local marina. Channels available for such traffic are designated Pub-

lic Correspondence channels on the channel charts in this manual. Some

examples for USA use are Channels 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 84, 85, 86, and 87.

Call the marine operator and identify yourself by your vessel’s name, The marine

operator will then ask you how you will pay for the call (telephone credit card,

collect, etc.) and then link your radio transmission to the telephone lines.

The marine telephone company managing the VHF channel you are using

may charge a link-up fee in addition to the cost of the call.

8.7 OPERATING ON CHANNELS 13 AND 67

Channel 13 is used at docks and bridges and by vessels manoeuvering in

port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meet-

ing and passing in restricted waters.

Channel 67 is used for navigational traffic between vessels.

By regulation, power is normally limited to 1 Watt on these channels. Your

radio is programmed to automatically reduce power to this limit on these chan-

nels. However, in certain situations it may be necessary to temporarily use a

higher power. See page 23 ( key) for means to temporarily override the

low-power limit on these two channels.
