Atlantic City Area Active Marine VHF Channels

[Analogrules]

I plan to go down there next week for a day or two and just wondering which frequencies in the VHF Marine band are most active in the AC area? Out of the several VHF Coast Guard frequencies, which ones are actually active? 157.100? 157.050? Sometimes I also see those large helicopters fly over the water down there, any idea which frequency(ies) they use?

You will probably get more USCG activity on the P25/LMR Nets
United States Coast Guard - The RadioReference Wiki

Most USCG have moved off of the VHF Marine, except for Interops
YMMV by Station, Vesell and Sector/District

CG 409 is sometimes in the clear....sometimes ENC. CH 83A is used by helos when training rescue swimmers......used almost daily.

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I know in the NYC area, I hear coast guard communicating with ships all the time on the VHF Marine channels.
