NB. I don't know why the MP officer would say that nobody including the NHMP monitors VHF ch.16.

NHMP does. Both at headquaters in Glendale and the NHMP auxiliary maintains a radio up in Melvin village.

What's more many private vessels listen when underway. A couple of years ago I was looking for a missing kayaker and it was resolved when a boater overheard my rodio contacts and informed me of the persons location. Case closed.

JSA. Read the "West Advisor" from west marine. They have good write ups on everything from lines to fire extinguishers to, yup, VHF radios.

Good luck!
