Greetings Starpath community,

I'm on the hunt for information regarding proper marine radio communications and DSC usages.

If I want a bar check prior to leaving the harbor, do I call the USCG station on 16 and ask if restrictions for my vessel size are in effect?

Another example might be approaching a bend in a river to determine if there's down bound traffic traffic I should be aware of.

Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Tom

the best reference for marine communication is a webpage of that name from the USCG at

http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=maritimeTelecomms

the river question is best answered by having AIS on your boat, which these days is very inexpensive.

If you are signed up for any of our courses you can carry on this conversation inside the classroom for faster response.

marine communications could apply to any course.
