Would anyone be capable/willing to stream CG VHF channels as well as DNR in the plain.(155.115) so many of us could monitor the bay activities?
Streaming Federal Government Communications is Prohibited.
I wouldn't. That sort of monitoring needs to be kept to yourself, since it's federal. 73, n9zasWould anyone be capable/willing to stream CG VHF channels as well as DNR in the plain.(155.115) so many of us could monitor the bay activities?

No, there's a BIG difference. Noaa broadcasts are for the General Public. Uscg broadcasts are NOT, unless they're nautical advisories on Ch.16 Which are primarily intended for Mariners. :wink: 73, n9zasIf going by that logic then everyone that is streaming a NOAA Weather broadcast station should be shut down, as it is federal government communications!!!!
You ever listen to Ch. 68 in the bay? Nothing official going on there. That's kind of like the CB of marine VHF. Marine advisories are broadcast on Ch 22. Lookouts for distressed boaters and other emergency info are broadcast on Ch. 16. These are broadcast to the public for their benefit, and to assist the CG.
There should be nothing wrong with streaming those channels intended for public monitoring.
There's also nothing wrong with streaming NRP 155.115, as it is like any other state or local police agency.
You're right, I forgot they do switch over to Ch.22 after their initial announcement on Ch.16. I'm a long ways from any major waterway, but I can hear the USCG station in Keokuk, Ia. I think any freq. where the cg might have traffic of their own, such as cutters or SAR traffic would probably be prohibited from streaming. :wink: 73, n9zasYou ever listen to Ch. 68 in the bay?
