I was going over that latest USCG notices to mariners in District 17 (Alaska), and noticed a note about AIS broadcasts of USCG VHF radio outages limiting coverage in some areas. The note says you will see on properly equipped chartplotters a 40NM ring around VHF radio sites that have problems. This is the first I have heard of this. It is a good feature but also highlights the problems the USCG and NOAA have in maintaining their radio sites. I wish NOAA would do the same thing when weather radio broadcasts have a problem.
