significant site deterioration and,
therefore, the unreliability of receiving
MF distress transmissions at many
locations. The Coast Guard provided
notifications of the situation to mariners
using Local Notice to Mariners and
radio broadcasts. The Coast Guard did
not receive any adverse reaction to those
notifications.
The site deterioration, costly upkeep,
and extensive maintenance required to
support this legacy MF system, as well
as the relatively minimal use by
mariners, has led the Coast Guard to
decide to discontinue support of the MF
system. The Coast Guard will
discontinue all watchkeeping and
transmissions on MF channels, namely
the 2182 kHz voice channel, the 2187.5
kHz Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
channel and Marine Information
Broadcasts (MIBs) on 2670 kHz.
Mariners have several increasingly
low cost and commonly available
alternatives to using MF distress and
non-distress channels. Instead of relying
on 2182 kHz voice and 2187.5 kHz DSC,
mariners can tune their existing HF
radios to other GMDSS radiotelephone
distress voice frequencies the Coast
Guard monitors (i.e., 4125, 6215, 8291,
or 12290 kHz voice), use satellite-based
communication for EPIRB and voice
communications, or use HF radios
equipped with DSC. The information in
the 2670 kHz broadcasts (weather
forecasts and warnings, Notice to
Mariners, and urgent marine
information broadcasts) will continue to
be available from other broadcast
sources (e.g., SafetyNet 2, NAVTEX,
VHF) and online. The Coast Guard urges
mariners to use these other alternatives
to the MF channels for distress calls,
DSC calls, and information broadcasts.
Mariners should not need to purchase
any new equipment to make this change
from 2182 kHz to other GMDSS distress
frequencies. Most radiocommunications
equipment carried by vessels is able to
operate in the 2–27.5 MHz range in
addition to the VHF radiotelephone also
carried by ships. While some older
radios may not tune to other
frequencies, these radios are no longer
sold, parts are not available for repairing
them and they are not typically found
on vessels. Therefore, the overwhelming
majority of vessels simply need to tune
their radios from 2182 kHz to another
GMDSS distress frequency (such as
4125, 6215, 8291, or 12290 kHz).
Because VHF frequencies may not be
reliable more than 20 nautical miles
2 SafetyNET is a satellite-based broadcast warning
system that delivers high seas navigational
warnings, meteorological warnings and forecasts,
ice reports, and other marine safety information.

from shore, any vessel that operates
more than 20 nautical miles from the
coast should carry
radiocommunications equipment
capable of tuning to distress frequencies
other than VHF to ensure the vessel is
able to make a distress call when
needed.
All vessel owners and operators are
strongly advised to check their
communication equipment regularly to
ensure it is properly installed, operating
and tuned to the most reliable distress
channels. For more information visit the

normally excluded from GSP duty
treatment, and (2) to provide for the
entry of specific textile and apparel
articles free of duty and free of any
