The Waterway Net, sponsored by the Waterway Radio and Cruising Club, is dedicated to enhancing amateur radio communications for recreational boaters. Meeting daily at 0745 ET on 7.268 MHz LSB, the net focuses on safety and weather updates, providing a vital link for live-aboards and cruising boats to stay connected with families and friends. Position Reports and Float Plans are essential components that ensure safety for offshore passage makers. Established in the early sixties, the Waterway Net is one of the longest-running nets in amateur radio history. Open to all amateur radio operators with a General class license or higher, it encourages participation without requiring WRCC membership. Newcomers are advised to listen initially to understand net procedures before checking in. In emergencies, FCC regulations allow anyone, licensed or not, to use any frequency to call for help, with the 20-meter frequency of 14.300 MHz available for emergency assistance approximately eighteen hours a day.
