[CTSARA] Assistance requested in identifying interference on a marine VHF channel

[Charles Lelievre]

I would suggest you contact the FCC with this matter. Marine VHF is taken very seriously.

FCC NYC Enforcement Bureau:  (212) 337-1865/ Tell them you are ARES or they won't take your call.

Marine RDF is simple to do, very similar to a Fox Hunt.. Use attenuators on a marine radio/scanner with a homebrew tape measure beam..

Best of luck.  N1LLL
