Listening on 156.400 NFM and have two foreign tugs sitting in the Solway off Workington, Smit Bronco & RT Magic.If they where cargo ships I could understand why they are there, just abit confused why the would be tugs.

Staying with marine band, i have a question. I can pick up the boats in the harbour at Whitehaven but not the controller of the sea gates, any ideas why?

I can hear them, but my house is more or less unbroken line of sight to the harbour, however I was told that sometimes the sea lock controller or port staff can be on a hand held Chris.I don't know if this is the case, but most of his communications will be short range, with traffic inside or entering the harbour, and this would enable him to take calls while outside or away from his console, so I suppose it is a likely explanation.

I guess if he is on a handheld rather than in the gatehouse it would explain the lack of signal.  |
