Canada Coast Guard communication Centre Blackout
A controversy has been brewing in BC with the closing of coast guard bases in BC. "Higher than usual" call volumes and antiquated equipment to blame.
“All mariners are requested to maintain a listening watch on channel 16 that is south of Nanaimo that is due to Victoria Coast Guard Radio Marine Communications Channel 16 is experiencing technical difficulties. Any mariners hearing any “Mayday Calls” south of Nanaimo are to relay those distress calls to Comox Coast Guard Radio on Channel 16.”
