F. Maritime SAR Operations by OG Vehicles.<br />
1. Trailered <strong>Boat</strong>s. The <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> maintains number of<br />
trailered boats that are used for SAR operations. When<br />
enroute to a SAR incident it may be necessary for persons or<br />
personnel in the truck, or van, to establish communications<br />
with the craft in trouble on an appropriate maritime VHF-FM<br />
frequency, if the craft is so equipped, and obtain additional<br />
information relative to the incident. Also, once the boat is<br />
launched, communications between the boat and persons in the<br />
truck may be necessary to facilitate the rescue.<br />
2. Operating On Mobil Frequencies. National radio policy<br />
prohibits land mobile stations from operating on maritime<br />
mobile frequencies. A waiver of this policy to permit land<br />
mobile stations to operate on maritime frequencies for SAR<br />
coordination is in efect. This waiver states "Stations<br />
onboard government vehicles used for towing trailered boats<br />
engaged in SAR operations, or SAR training exercises, are<br />
authorized to operate on VHF-FM maritime mobile frequencies<br />
with stations in the maritime mobile service".
