Call them direct at 293-2300

When I'm at home I listen on Ch 16 with my scanner and I have to admit that if nothing else it can be...umm...amusing at times, particularly when someone calls for assistance because their boat has broken down but they don't know where they are! (Maybe we should add that if you have a VHF radio you should also have a chart and know how to read it!)

I believe a cell phone can be triangulated to find your location.Can VHF do that?Not sure.
