Howdy Gang,

Just returned from a weeks worth of fishing with Uncle Matt and his Boat. Let's save the horrible fishing reports for later, though

I have a couple a questions:

We were using his boat and trying to hail #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and a few others on Matts VHF. Can someone explain the channels to me? We had a little "Cheat Sheet" but it really did not go into detail.

Do we hail on 16 and then switch to another channel to talk? Which channels are for what use? I understand that 13 is for the Canal traffic but what others should we have and use for emergencies, talk around, fishing info etc?

Thanks
