VHF Radio Channel

[fishinkid2010]

I leave my VHF on scan for channels 9, 16, 69 (aka the Playboy channel), 71, and 72.

I believe that 22a is what the coast guard uses after a vessel in distress has hailed them on 16... that is an interesting channel to listen to sometimes. While out sailing to the Coronados once, my grandpa and I listened to the whole conversation between CG and a vessel that ended up going down.
