Psyche 626 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Great interview with Will Oxley https://www.buzzsprout.com/392416/9977242 Very relevant points about VHF protocol and the recent Sydney Hobart redress issue around 35 minutes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrianp 119 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 These guys actually do a really good podcast. Just listening to the Murray Jones one at the moment. The Will Oxley one is really interesting with his background on the Safety Panel. He also mentions this is not the first time he has failed to raise that yacht on VHF....

Psyche 626 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 A really good reminder about keeping the VHF on 16 and being able to hear it, something that that's easy to get slack about racing in the Gulf on a nice day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 398 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Guilty, never been much of a radio botherer, though I do recall listening to a rather entertaining shipwreck with Psyche one night a year or two back, very lucky no one was injured or lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The big T 41 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The old Radphone calls with a bit of alcohol involved, especially to an absent partner, used to provide good entertainment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
