Hey thanks - there are some great freqs listed on their website!

I'm amazed they put that up so publicly, in this era of public safety communications becoming more secretive. Probably not thinking about much terrorism in the San Juan Islands :)

Another San Juan Island tip - I was boating up there last summer and one thing I really wanted to do was find the whales to do some whale watching. Of course the hard thing to do is find them - they can be anywhere up there. I had heard the whale watch boats all communicated on a common frequency but this frequency is kept somewhat "secret" (probably to keep people like me from flocking to the whales all the time).

Well, I was not to be deterred, and started scanning all the VHF Marine Freqs. I finally found them on VHF Marine Channel 80 (157.025 Mhz). All the whale watch boats coordinate on that freq. We finally found the whales by listening to that freq - very cool!
