Often broadcasts of the same information are carried on different frequencies. I found that the recommend frequencies were not always the same nor were they those on which I found the best reception. Some experimentation and a bit of record keeping was necessary. The sailing community is better orgainzed to share this material. >> In all areas covered by the U S COast Guard VHF FM radio network, teh Coast Guard announces on channel 16 that a marine advisory ans weather forecast will be broadcast in just a few minutes on channel 22A. You can switch to that freqto receive their broadcast. if you monitor channel 16 you will be notified. If not you can obtain their schedule of broadcastsfrom them.
