Channel Lists

The USA, Canadian, and International channel lists provided in this Appendix are for
reference only. It is the responsibility of the radio operator to ensure that channels are used
correctly according to local regulations.
USA Channels
For the latest information on USA channels, visit
/vhf.htm. Also visit the Federal Communications Commission's Marine VHF Radio
Channels page at http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=service
_bandplan&id=ship_stations. The FCC page does not include frequency information, but
has more complete information on the use of the channels.
IMPORTANT: Boaters primarily should use channels listed as non-commercial. Use
Channel 16 to call other stations or for distress alerting. Use Channel 13 to contact a ship
when there is danger of collision. All ships of length 20 m or greater are required to guard
VHF Channel 13, in addition to VHF Channel 16, when operating within USA territorial
waters. Users may be fined by the FCC for improper use of these channels.
