Not so much OT compared to the crap those interlopers from the amateur
ng's that have polluted this ng but is there a web site where I can
listen to marine traffic on channels 13 & 16? Googled & Yahoo'd it with
no success.

Cheaper yet is to buy a scanner and program the marine frequencies you
want.

My trunktracker has a marine scan mode that will display the channel and
the frequency when a signal is received. Of course, you need to be near water.

The need is for less than a week. Senseless to buy something for that

nope. had a gc radio but sold it and gave the proceeds to my mates widow
who has three kids. He was an amateur operator who also enjoyed 11
meters.

I might have an old marine radio laying around if you really need it.
You'll need some sort of an antenna to go with it tho.

Thanks Steve but i was needing it this week as the Army Corp of
Engineering subcontracted a firm to replenish the beach on the south
shore of the island and I wanted to listen to the proceedings as our
fiber optic cable runs right through their work area. Whew, long
sentence... Thats why i was asking if I could listen via the net instead
of getting hardware.

Oh well, tell the purchasing agent to spring for a scanner anyway. Ya never
know when it may be needed. :)

Listening to the marine radio will not do you any good. The contractors
will not be using those frequencies. If they use any two way radios they
will be on the business band frequencies. What you need to do is have
the line of the fiver optic cable marked with flags so that the
contractors will know where your company has them buried. Usually there
is a agency that marks all underground utilities at no cost to the
contractor to prevent damage to the utilities. I recommend you contact
the Corps and request that they have the survey done prior to any work
being done. If they don't have the survey they become responsible for
any damage and subsequent repairs.

Sorry Dave but in this instance you are wrong. I have the MOP and it
includes the provision for listening to marine ops on the channels
mentioned. The cable in question is submerged off the south shore of
Long Island so any markouts via flags is moot. On the terrestrial side
we dont use flags rather orange paint on pavement and if in the dirt,
flags, though there is nothing in the dirt. Been doing this many years
mate so your advice whilst respectfully taken is not accurate in this
scenario. Thanks, Jim.

Jim;

It was an easy one to make as you didn't mention the fact the cable was
all wet.

As to marking the cable location can't you just paint the marks on the
bottom of the boat/barge? ;^).

Thanks for the correction though. Good luck.

No worries Dave. Its wet for about 6100 km's but it has to terminate at
a dry point which is a few km's land side of the beach. Cheers, Jim.
