Growing Use, Abuse Threatens Marine Radio System
The Boating Writers' International meeting at the Marine Trades Exhibit in Chicago reports rapid growth in marine radiotelephone usage and rising abuse. Key issues include overuse of Channel 16, long nonemergency calls, incorrect channels, and interference, with a public education program planned to publish a user handbook and provide articles to boating writers. VHF operates as a shorter range, line-of-sight system with clearer signals and more channels, contrasting with the expanding AM double-sideband radio.
