Radio ideas, need imput from members

TIN CAN:

The channels 68, 69, 71, 78, 79, 80 are working channels, channel 72 is a working channel for ship to ship only, meaning that you can stand on them for day to day comunications and not be in violation of FCC rules as long as you are using them for non commercial use. Hopefully with the amount of radio traffic that we will be generating using 16 as a hailing channel may start to cause us problems with the USCG as they look at 16 as an emergency only channel.

Most of us would probably prefer to stand on, use or monitor just one channel for our comunication needs. I usually use one basic channel and scan 16 for emergencies. I thank you for your insite and contribution on this matter.

wakina,

I also hope you guys can jam up the system with information, that will mean that there is something to talk about which will be great. It's a worth while venture and I hope all works out well in it.

I have monitored 72 for many years, most days not much activity on it, mostly all people I know over 40 years plus fishing the lake.That may be a option.

I would be glad to share any fishing info. I have to report.

My boat 27 Sportcraft going in next few weeks Meinke West. this coming weekend I have a friend that is bringing his 21 Bayliner from Indiana, we will be jigging the Reefs first trip tonight weather permitting! will let you know how we do!

V.P Joe Biden was in town yesterday and made an unexpected stop at my school, when he was on his way to the Chrysler Plant we had our students out waving at him and on his return trip he told his convoy to pull into our school!! Very exciting for the Rossford School District , I was able to shake hands with him and have picture of it!

Why don't we go with channel 71 for now and see how it works out?

Wont get the boat in till the middle of April . But cant wait to share some info. in real time. I think This will help us all. Cell phones don't work out on the lake very well as we all know. It will be nice to hail walleye.com on the radio and have one of you come back to share info. Thanks to everyone willing to give it a try.
