VHF Radio a Must On or Near the Water
|
 |
Cell phones often do not work on our lakes, rivers and coastal waters. A hand-held VHF radio is a must, for boaters and waterfront property owners. You can communicate with
1. Other recreation boats.
2. Commercial vessels, locks or bridges.
3. the U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Police, USCG Auxiliary, U.S. Power Squadron, local rescue squads and other safety personnel on the water
