To place a non-DSC call:
When making a non-DSC call, you'll have to switch to a communication
channel after making initial contact, so be sure to select a channel
authorized for the type of communication you desire.
1. Select an appropriate communication channel.
2. Tune your radio to Ch. 16 or Ch. 9. Speak slowly and clearly, stating
the name of the vessel you are trying to contact followed by "this is
(your ship name and call sign)."
3. When the other vessel responds, say "go to (the desired channel num-
ber) over."
4. Switch to the other working channel. After you are sure it is clear,
call out to the other vessel, stating the vessel's name, followed by "this
is (your ship name and call sign)."
