It includes very helpful content by Gordon (Gordo) West, plus a list from 2007 that purports to be the "standard" channel list for Icom M802 radios. One slight confusion factor I noticed is that 14.300 (Channel 151) is called "HAM NETS". I usually think of 14.300 as the "Pacific Seafarer's (ham) Net". But I am aware that it is also used by several other groups. All I know is that if I need to talk to somebody 24/7, I can call on 14.300 and someone will answer.
OK, I admit it. I did the nerdy thing and created a Word version of this list. So you can customize it for your own radio.
Keep in mind that without the SSB you will not hear the position reports during the call in. How will the check in information get relayed to the rest of the fleet?
