Coast Guard changed terminology

[jaymatt1978]

Just an observation -- over the past few days I have heard the Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay is saying "Shifting to 22A or 1022-- 157.100MHz" The 1022 channel thing has been around for a few years but this is time I have been hearing it used over the air during safety broadcasts. I wonder if other sectors are st arting to use the same terminology?>

Not Boston, Yet
Could be they had an issue, with a Foreign Vessel ?

Yes, that change is in place here in Illinois too.

Sector Lake Michigan has been referring to the new 4 digit channel numbers for at least a few weeks now. Sometime referring it to 'ITU Channel xxxx'

Hi Bill,
Good to hear from you. No it was a safety broadcast for a bridge somewhere in New Jersey I wish I recorded it

Sector Maryland National Capital Region (NCR) now gives both the old channel old 22A and 1022 during broadcasts.

Heard same at the times on the Mississippi River broadcasts in Iowa.

Ditto to Sector Boston ? or Ditto to the other Sectors who have begun using the new identifier ?

Ditto as in I'm hearing the same thing on Cape Cod with Sector Southeastern New England and their MIB announcements on CH16.
