Listening to Marine Band radio
I have a marine band radio, and I like to listen in to boats and ships at sea.
I have discovered that I can hear Coast Guard stations well enough, but when a vessel responds to the shore station either I cannot hear it at all, or else the remote signal is too weak or garbled for me to understand.
I have been wondering if the Coastguard were scrambling their signals or something.
Any web sites with any info on marine band listening would be helpful.
