That is news to me. I never knew that. It looks so
much like REACT. All calling and distress channels are
answered on CH 16 here. Distress is answered by Presscott
Radio a CCG station. I also get them caling Police and
accepting tests on CH 16 .... and it is or was with the
rest that day used by the local Sailing Club for their
Racing in the lake.

Last time I looked, there was a different assignment for
the big pond, as opposed for those of us in the inland
puddles of fresh water. Interesting though...

Well !!! What can I do ... you did ask. Besides the
last boat was called something in Chinese, and the one
before that was "Sixteen Again".
I think it went .... "Audrey2 ...feed me more" and
you and our many readers got it ... Oh well , can not
please us all.
