Haven't had one for a while. Dive Team 8 enroute to USCG Annapolis to embark on their small boat.

USCG and AACoFD Fire Alarm had a few words between each other just a few moments ago. First time I've heard that happen...

A few words in a good way?

Yes, looking for location confirmation etc.

Hmm, you're right - doesn't typically happen, although Dive 8 is aboard so maybe USCG are using their portables - or was it Sector? Interesting none the less.

Care to share the map? Looks very good.

It's actually all in QGIS. I'll start working on a Google Drive folder with some overview pics/PDFs.

Sounds like Station Annapolis - they must be relaying messages to the small boat over their CG 111 / 112 VHF - likely enc.

 

[maus92]

CG 112 is in the clear, however only hearing the station side as the channel is simplex.

It seems that this is a new "procedure" for them when there are water rescues in the Annapolis Neck/Bay Bridge/South River area. This is at least the 3rd or 4th time they have done this in the past month.
