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 inter-

rupting other traffic, and then go back 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, immediately request another channel by saying “go to,” the num-

ber 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; see your Owner’s Manual.

8.3 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

Public 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 (tele-

phone 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.
