Effective February 1st, 2009, both 121.5 and 243 MHz Emergency Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB) will no longer be monitored. Mariners are encouraged to have a device onboard, as these can greatly increase the chances of being rescued quickly. Boaters will need to purchase and register a 406 MHz EPIRB to help ensure their safety on the water. For more information visit: www.uscgboating.org To register your EPIRB call (888) 212-SAVE or go to http://www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov/ |
