Coastguard NZ update

Thanks to everyone who came along to talk radio with Coastguard recently. It was good to see Annette Hall and the FNRSR legacy acknowledged, and to get answers to our questions. No firm date yet on Channels 60, 61 and 02 going live under Coastguard, but in the meantime, you can log a trip report in the Coastguard App, or call *500 to talk to Coastguard. It’s FREE and you don’t need to be a member or have a callsign. VHF 16 should be used for emergencies.
