RESCUE 21 Sites in the Great Lakes
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2016 1:29 pm
A new article on RESCUE 21 sites is now available in the REFERENCE section. See

This article discusses the new Coast Guard 21st-Century radio system known as Rescue 21. It documents my visits to five local installations and shows detailed photographs of the antennas, towers, and facilities. Unfortunately, I was not able to gain access to the receiver shacks, so I can't show you the actual gear in use, but I have drawn some quite reasonable inferences about the equipment based on the antennas and feedlines.
I have also created (in collaboration with another radio enthusiast) a Google Earth mapping of almost all Rescue 21 sites in the Great Lakes of Superior, Michigan, Huron, and most of Erie.
