USCG Alaska VHF outage update

The Coast Guard has experienced various VHF outages in Southeast and Southcentral Alaska. Extra caution is advised in areas service by the VHF towers listed below.  Repairs are ongoing, but due to extreme weather and remote locations, intermittent outages are expected to continue in various locations in both Southeast and Southcentral Alaska. Mariners are reminded that due to mountainous terrain, and limited VHF coverage, even with fully operational VHF sites, the USCG cannot hear VHF calls in all areas, and mariners should have secondary means on communications onboard at all times, file a float plan with a trusted person,
