Does the thought of having to call the Coast Guard on the VHF shiver your timbers? Are you nervous about how to work the radio or what to say? Do you know what a DSC and an MMSI are? Or how to do a radio check? In this class we’ll explore it all! We’ll tame the VHF beast by learning how it works and how to get what you need when you need to use it. We’ll also do some hands-on practice to get comfortable making calls.
