Correct; because it is not a regular calling channnel.  Nobody is supposed
to use it unless in emergency.  But like I said, in Mexico they use CH 16
widely: http://www.thelog.com/printer/article.asp?c=78408 - seems like all
marinas on the list use CH 16 - or I don't undestand what they wanted to say
in this document.
