While more and more offshore sailors are carrying satphones and high tech satellite communications with them as they make passages, the trusty old high frequency radio comms made possible by SSB and HAM radio is still a vital communications tool that offers many benefits. One of these for East Coast, Bahamas and Caribbean sailors is the Seven Seas Cruising Association’s HF Net.
Every day, the net offers news and information for cruisers, weather and updates from a range of sources include the Caribbean Safety & Security Net, The Salty Southeast Cruisers Net and others. The SSCA Net can help cruisers with float plans and ship to shore communications. For net schedules, frequencies and more information read more on Noonsite.
