when vessel radios were the AM not VHF.....So if one unit was talking then they ALL heard the #, Description......
I remember being able to Communicate with Freeport in the Bahamas from Baltimore.
Now...with VHF it seems you can spit farther than you can talk sometimes...but that is a good thing on the Chesterpeake on Weekends with all the "10-4 Goodbuddy, 10 year old morons, or women on the horn making docking reservations. And my Favorite...***** Creak Drawbridge...What time is your 12 o'clock bridge opening, OVER (asterisks added by me....is not a cuss word)

Seriously, that's an amusing story if it's just coincidence, but I would love to see the CG radio logs for that day. And if there's a transmission in there along the lines of "Hey, you guys gotta go take a look at this...", it would start to creep me out just a little bit. You? |
