I live in PA near a lake. I don't live anywhere near any really large body of water.
Tonight on 156.8 (Marine channel 16) I pickup a call of "Ox-base" from "Ox-1"
Gradually they discussed what appear to be marine channels and they switch to 83A which I pickup on 157.175. Seems like they are doing a radio test of some sort.
My question is, who would be using this? Could this just be marine radios in use on the lake? I wasn't sure if regular marine channels can be used by anyone or if there is something "official" going on at the lake.
Sorry if this is a silly question but I've never eard ANY marine channel activity before.
