9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the PTT switch and listen.

sponse, try another channel.
3.3 CALLING ANOTHER VESSEL
(
CHANNEL 16
)
Channel 16 may be used for initial contact (hailing) with another vessel.
However, its most important use is for emergency messages. This channel
must be monitored at all times except when actually using another channel.
It is monitored by the Coast Guards and by other vessels. Use of channel 16
for hailing must be limited to initial contact only. Calling should not exceed 30
seconds, but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals.
Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this
manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial
contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 of the U.S. VHF Charts are some of
the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your
desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other
traffic, and then go back to channel 16 for your initial contact.
When the hailing channel 16 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, immedi-
ately request another channel by saying “go to”, the number of the other chan-
nel, 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 PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch.
When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last trans-
mission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out”. Note that it is not neces-
sary 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.
3.4 OPERATING ON CHANNEL 13
Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and for maneuvering in port. Messages
on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in
restricted waters. In emergencies and when approaching blind river bends,
High power is allowed. Pressing the
