ChrisB Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I as many will know have not been nautical for many months. I know that VHF channels 23,84 and 86 will be superceded by 62,63 and 64 sometime in September but has our area changed. I used to listen in to Humber Coastguard for the forecast but it appears we now in East Anglia (Trimmingham Lowestoft) fall under Dover. Can anyone confirm this for me please.

marshman Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Sorry to disappoint you Chris but even Dover is not an area!! See here https://www.gov.uk/government/uplystem/uploads/attachment_data/file/454931/FCG_Map_4-6.pdfoads/s Which is all news to me as earlier this year I was happily chatting to Bridlington (Humber) !!! I guess we are under London??? Talk about everyone being confused!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yep I know the link does not work - Google HM Coastguard Area Maps - or have they changed them again!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thank you Marshman, I think I got the right info. I dual watched on Trimingham and Caister at the stated time for the A transmission but still got no forecast. There is a Coastguard office on the Bacton Road I shall call in and ask.

ChrisB Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks Bob, I will give 86 a go at 19.50. Ch86 was what I always used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
