***Race Management VHF Channel Change – Effective 1 August***
|
To improve the clarity and reliability of race management communications, Royal Brighton Yacht Club will be changing its race management VHF channel from Channel 77 to Channel 73 for all RBYC Club Racing, effective Saturday, 1 August.
|
|
This change has been made due to the increasing amount of radio traffic on Channel 77 during race days, including communications from other clubs, which can create unnecessary congestion and confusion.
|
|
All competitors, race officials and support vessels are asked to update their radios and use VHF Channel 73 for all RBYC Club Racing communications from 1 August onwards.
|
|
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us provide clearer and more efficient race management communications.
