How to build a VHF marine radio antenna for less than $10.

Just bought a standard horizon radio and my marina says contact on vhf 37m the radio has M1 & M2 built in for marinas which one should I use,course on vhf in the pipeline but want to go boating now any help appreciated Thanks
it is Julies husband asking by the way!

firstly the guy saying there is no 37 is completly wrong.

37 is split into 2 seperate chanells 37A and 37B these are also called M1 and M2. im guesing your mariner is on M1 but phone them to find out.

as for contacting them the procedure for calling any station is saying their name 3 times then "this is" an your boats name 3 times. for example:

"Mayflower Marina, Mayflower Marina, Mayflower Marina, this is Alice, Alice, Alice, over"

they will the return your call with somthing along the lines of:

"Alice, Alice, Alice,this is, Mayflower Marina, Mayflower Marina, Mayflower Marina, over"

you can then say what ever you need to say to them ending each transmisssion with over and your last transmision with out.
never say over and out.

you should realy have a radio licence you are allowed to use chanel 37 witout one but that it unless its an emergancy.

i hope this helps.

I'm assuming you're asking about the same bayliner you have already been on line about. If so:
Get a 5db gain antenna of the length you want. All VHF antenna use the same cord plug/screw adapter at the radio end so no worries there. Make sure to get a VHF antenna. Keep in mind many antenna do not come with bases to mount them to the boat. So check and see if you need to get one of these as well.
Good luck!

I am looking at buying one but don't now if I need a license.

It depends on the capabilties of the radio set, but normally no. See the link.
