 SEMINAR FOR BOATERS

Using VHF & VHF/DSC Marine Radio

Boaters should be aware that a VHF marine radio is your “first call for help” in an emergency—the first responders most likely to come to your aid will be your fellow boaters, and the best way to reach them is with a VHF radio. Soon all VHF marine radios sold will have the DSC (digital selective calling) capability. DSC vastly simplifies and improves rescue and routine calls, making it easier to make a call while the system frees up Channel 16 for essential communications. However, you need to know how to use it. This seminar answers those needs and explains basic VHF operation. Just $5.00 for this seminar brought to you by the Toledo Power Squadron at the Point Place Library, 117^th St., on Monday, April 23 at 7 p.m.  Contact James F. Sommers 419-691-7719, email somaga@aol.com.  Sail boat, power boat, kayak, jet ski, no boat? Age 18 and older? You are most welcome to join the Toledo Power Squadron. Check us out at www.toledopowersquadron.org.
