After reading the thread below about using CH 13 for passing I wanted to ask a question from a recent experience.
I have always used 16 to hail a marina or another boater, then when they answer move to a different channel.
Recently pulled into an area in South Florida, approaching the fuel dock and hailed the fuel dock on CH16.
Immediately - the response from CG was the message we have heard when someone is inappropriately using CH16. Was not directed at me specific - but the timing - felt like my hailing initiated.
The CG facility is really close to the marina I was going to - but wouldn't think that would matter.
Is my usage of CH 16 correct? or incorrect?
TY
