Marine Freqs

[Gymbag]

I will admit that in my 40 years of scanning I’ve never listened to anything remotely close to the marine freqs. Just wondering if someone could provide me some of the freqs I might want to listen to. I’m pretty sure I should put in Channel 16. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on where you are. If along the St Lawrence Seaway I can give you some channels/frequencies, or you can check out Massena Area Marine Live Audio Feed and their feed info. If so, I can give you a couple of extra to follow.

It will be on Lake Huron.

There is an ancient site that I used in the past: https://boatnerd.com/oldsite/facts-...56.950 Channel 19 (Varies according to boat.)

Things haven't changed much over the years. I'd give them a try.

157.1250MHz is the SAR frequency for Georgian Bay. Might want to give it a listen.

Channels 16 and 9 for sure. They are the emergency channels Sarnia Coast Guard monitors then assigns an operations channel to. 86 is also one to monitor. I can't remember what channel they use for when the helicopter comes, one of the ship to air channels maybe?

Channel 16 for sure. I've also heard ship-to-ship chatter on channels 68-72.

This link will provide the towers and associated local channels for all of Canada. Part 2 and Part 3 will have all the channels used and in what area. Don't forget the the two marina (US/CDN) channels as well.

Just put in all the marine frequencies into your scanner and scan them. In no time you will find the frequencies that are active in your area, that's the easy way of doing it.
