Monioring of channel 16
From the USCG Navigation Center, Radio Watch Keeping Regulations
"In general any vessel equipped with a VHF marine radiotelephone (whether voluntary or required to) must maintain a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) when ever the radiotelephone is not being used to communicate."
NH claims to enforce USCG regulations although it does so in a rather spotty manner with the most bizarre interpretations and definitions.
