Description
Anyone who spends much time on a boat is well advised to know how to use a marine VHF radio. It's true that someone onboard should be licenced to use this radio, but anyone can use it under their supervision or in an emergency. This book is a very simple guide to help you do so.
When you do your VHF Short Range Certificate (SRC) with the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) much emphasis is put on the use of the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions of the marine VHF radio and it's use in an emergency, but comparatively little time is spent learning how to use the radio as you will each and every time you take your boat out - to speak to people! So this will fill that gap and provide a usefull aide memoir onboard.
The book also includes a guide to locking through the Cardiff Bay Barrage, though this information is equally relevent to anyone wishing to contact any other lock keeper at other locations.
