Why marine SSB
Marine SSB (Single Side Band) is a popular means of communications for the independentcruising yachtsmen and a must if you are planning to do bluewater cruising to the Caribbean,Pacific or Mediterranean. The range of SSB is up to several thousand miles and callsbetween yachts are free. There are stations around which will let you make link calls(telephone calls) and even email is available over SSB radio.
WHY SSB MIGHT BE FOR YOU!Get the answer from Rod Heikell's very informal site
Having an SSB MF/HF transceiver on board your yacht offers communication independence,you are not tied into any contracts or connection charges.
Marine SSB frequencies
The frequencies used for marine communications are internationally agreed by theInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU). Below you will find a list of HF frequencies. Inthe main most frequencies are Duplex and intended for ship to shore use. Some bands dohave simplex channels which can be used for either ship to shore or intership working.
A marine radio operator'slicence is an international legalrequirement. Yachtsmen operating a VHFonly radio require a ShortRange Certificate. If operatingan SSB, VHF and Inmarsatfrom a yacht then a LongRange Certificate is required.Visit www.yachtcom.info formore information about marineradio and yachtcommunications.
GMDSSShort Range Certificate
1 day courseThis is a 1 day RYA VHFmarine radio course. On completion you will be acompetent radio operator andknow the correct procedure fordistress, urgency, safety bymeans of marine VHF DSCradio.
