Understanding Your VHF Marine Radio

[Gad]

Received this email this afternoon some may find the links informative

Good afternoon,

The ACMA has today launched two videos aimed at informing recreational boaters about the importance of VHF marine radios, which channels to use, when and how.

The ACMA has also collaborated with the Bureau of Meteorology in the second video to inform boaters about how to use the VHF marine radio to get information about the weather.

The media release can be found via this link ACMA VHF marine media release 31 May 2012

Direct links to the videos can be found on the ACMA website www.acma.gov.au/vhfmarine.

As the ACMA is keen to see the video links distributed as widely as possible, we are happy for the links to be included in newsletters, magazines, shared with other organisations, displayed on organisational websites or used in social media communications such as on Facebook and Twitter. If you have difficulty sharing the links please let us know and we will assist you if we can.

As the ongoing information program is an initiative borne out of the Review of Marine Radio Operator Qualifications – Recreational (Non-commercial) vessels, the ACMA is informing all respondents to the review of the video release. If you do not wish to be contacted about future information program initiatives or if you are on more than one mailing list please advise Genevieve Meadowes (Genevieve.Meadowes@acma.gov.au) and we will remove you from this mailing list.

For other matters relating to the videos, the ACMA point of contact is Mick Owens (03 9963 6839 or Michael.Owens@acma.gov.au)

Regards

Kerry
