Happy 2023 Chris and Subscribers, I understand that in Atlantic Canada When you dial *16 on a cell phone you are connected directly to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) in Halifax. Does something similar happen in jurisdictions outside Atlantic Canada like along the US East Coast?

Thanks Chris; Good stuff. One area I find intriguing and a probalbly irrelevent to most is correctly using VHF marine radio, is initial call transmissions procedures; which are rarely studied. When obtaining your restricted radio operators permit, does not require any such course. What I hear incorrectly all too often is repeating station calling and working 3 times for normal transmissions. You should use 2X's transmission for initial call of a potentially UNMONITORED stations. Better just once if no response call again. Then just talk normal, the use of "OVER" after each transmission which gets overdone.. According to regulations only emergency distress, urgency and safety transmissions require a repetitive calling. This operating procedure has seemed to fester into a standard call procedure for normal calls throughout the amateur marine VHF community. Routine calling procedures require name and/ or other identifying information of the station being called, spoken once only. The three times should only be used for distress, whether for Sucurite, Pan or MayDay
