Hm Coastguard Weather And Nav Warnings.

[ChrisB]

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 I know that VHF channels 23,84 and 86 will be superceded by 62,63 and 64 sometime in September but has our area changed.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.

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!!!

Yep I know the link does not work - Google   HM Coastguard Area Maps - or have they changed them again!!!!!

[ChrisB]

 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.

Thanks Bob, I will give 86 a go at 19.50. Ch86 was what I always used.

[ChrisB]

No problems this morning, loud and clear on 86.

Thanks for the help

They are normally announced on ch16 first with which channel for which area.
