When calling Limehouse (or any other marina) on Channel 80, please ensure that your radio is switched to International Channel 80, not American (US) Channel 80A. Otherwise, the marina will be able to hear you but you will not be able to hear the marina. Also please note that marinas do not use channel 14 or channel 16.
