am about to install an s s b set on my boat. can anyone advise the frequencies of the marine / ham nets in the med - and also of offenbach and other weatherfax sources.
Perhaps wise to pickup Northwood's Schedule which is transmitted at around 1400Z because I think that Frank Singleton's schedule might have very recently changed. At least, I have found transmissions where there ought not to be.
Although Northwood covers the Med I hope FS & other sources you might come across have other Med transmitters which will suit you. Do let me know what you find?
Have a look at "Cruiser Log" at www.cruiser.co.za . In the menu at the bottom of the homepage click on "Radio Nets". There you will find a list of all the ham cruising nets and at the bottom of that list is a list of "Marine Radio Links"
The British Maritime Mobile net controls most qso's from N.Europe to the Med to the Azores. Further if propogation is good. You need a class A licence (RAE) to partiscipate or you can listen in. Daily on 14303Mhz upper side band at 08 utc and 18 utc.
