It will be
standard policy to monitor VHF Channel
16 and CB Channel 14 from 1600 to 1630
hours daily, when onboard your vessel.
THESE ARE DISTRESS AND EMERGENCY
CHANNELS, ONLY. To contact other
vessels, use VHF Channel 9. (VHF
Channels 68, 69, 71, and 78A, also). The
following is an example of proper
calling:
Blue
Duck "Mary Jane this is Blue Duck,
WAZ1234"
Mary Jane "Blue Duck, Mary Jane
WAQ5678"
Blue Duck "Reply 68"
If there is no response, remain silent.
No need to say "no contact" or "negative
contact".
REDUCE INTERFERENCE - USE LOW POWER.
When a yacht or any other type of
pleasure boat arrives in the United
States, the first place it docks must be
at a Customs port or other place where
Customs service is available. Contact
the Customs port director at any of the
ports of entry.
