Vhf Channels

[Speciman]

Hi

 

I have a handheld VHF although I don't have the DSC on the model I have (Icom M-87).

 

I obviously monitor the calling channel 16, & also channels 23 & 86 for local coastguard weather reports + marina channels M1 & M2.

 

I was wondering which channels VHF users here normally monitor, tag & scan?

The club use channel 6 to talk.

If you are in the Poole harbour and approaches it is a good idea to monitor channel 14 to hear shipping movements etc.
