radio hints
- Be sure to log on and off
To log on you will need to give the following
information:
1. Your radio call sign
2. Department of Transport/Registration number (the number on the side of your boat) or your FG number.
3. Number of people on board (POB)
4. Amount of fuel on board (litres)
5. Your launch point
6. Your destination
7. What time you expect to return (ETR)
- When logging on and off ensure you have been acknowledged
Leave your radio on during your voyage.
Either 88 or 90 for 27meg or 16 or 73 if you have VHF. This way you may be contacted if the need arises. This will also set-up a network of vessels that are able to relay weak signals for those requiring assistance. Doing this will also mean that if you require assistance you will not have to fumble with your radio - you just need to pick up the microphone and talk.
Be courteous to other radio users. If you wish to have a chat with another boat it is best to do so on 96 for 27meg, or 72 or 77 on VHF.
Remember... Mobile phones are not a substitute for radios.
Your radios are your lifeline. Phones do not work in all areas and should you be in an unfamiliar area, your radio direction finders can be used to locate you more quickly.
- Channel 88 is reserved for emergency
- Channel 90 (or 91 for Port Denison) is for Sea Rescue
- Channel 92 is for ship to ship communication
- Channel 94 is for Club events
