Anyone know what freq's they may use in Lake Huron and Superior?
So the Canadian Coast Guard doesn't have it's own SECURE VHF/UHF (Non VHF Marine) nets, as the US Coast Guard does ?Same, until someone from the area can give you some more precise info.
They monitor 16 (156.8000) (distress channel) if someone calls on it they will say go to CH ??, also they will make an announcement there, go to channel ?? for broadcast. So start with ch 16 then find the frequency for the channel the say to go to.
No idea were you would pick up Canadian Coast Guard in your area of the woods but I think the best way for you to find them is scan the full marine band because they will come up on a lot of different frequencies they use for working frequencies. Down in Fort Erie, I pick up coast guard on many different frequencies, there are a lot of the frequencies that are now encrypted and you will not be able to listen to some of the frequencies. Just to give you an idea of how many frequencies I pick up the coast guard on, this is my list.Anyone know what freq's they may use in Lake Huron and Superior?
No, our Coast Guard uses regular VHF marine channels for their work.So the Canadian Coast Guard doesn't have it's own SECURE VHF/UHF (Non VHF Marine) nets, as the US Coast Guard does ?
Explains that I need to concentrate on the VHF Marine during all the Canadian visits to Boston - Thanks, always thought they had their own NETs for Secure CommsNo, our Coast Guard uses regular VHF marine channels for their work.
I'd check 157.125, 157.150 and 157.175MHz for SAR activity.
