Sea Tow Charleston now provides automated VHF radio checks on channel 27. All you need to do is go the channel 27 and do a radio check as you normally would do on channel 16. The system has several advantages in that you will be able to hear what you and your radio sounds like, its 24/7, and it frees up alot of the traffic on channel 16.
We will continue to provide “live” radio checks on channel 16 as usual. The system is on our shorter tower and is designed for the harbor and surrounding area, but if you get an automated radio check from any distance, shoot me a email and let me know.
And of course if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line or phone us.
Have a safe Memorial Day Weekend!
