Boating Seminar - 'Using VHF & VHF/DSC Marine Radio'

VHF radio is the mainstay of coastal communication and essential for emergency communications. Digital Selective Calling (DSC) has become a reality as more Coast Guard Rescue 21 System operations go live. Currently, the mid Atlantic coast is operational with DSC.

DSC vastly simplifies and improves rescue and routine call signaling – making it easier to make a call while the system frees up Channel 16 for essential communications. However, you need to know how to use it. This seminar answers those needs and explains basic VHF operation. 

Fee for non-SYC members — $35 includes materials and taxes.
SYC members may attend free of charge.

Presented by the New London Power Squadron at the Shennecossett Yacht Club Clubhouse starting at 1:00 p.m.
