Then there's the dozens of jerks that clog up Ch 16 with "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check", "radio check".
Seatow's automated radio check is easy to use. Go here: < https://www.seatow.com/tools-and-education/automated-radio-check> Scroll down, click the "Automated Radio Checks" button. Scroll around the map to see if there is one near you. Click on the yellow antenna balloon to see what channel it uses. Tune to that channel and transmit a message. I like to use "Beat Bama". Especially when I'm in or near Alabama waters. When you release the transmit key on your VHF, Seatow's system will transmit a commercial message followed by your message. Hence, you can hear what you transmit. Easy. Dennis C.
