Speaking of AIS

Has anyone successfully deployed one of the Quark AIS receivers which were the subject of forum conversation maybe a couple of years ago?

No questions/concerns. I had forgotten you had one up and running.

Happy new year!

The only downside I can say is no one can see me via AIS. It's a receiver only but no complaining allowed. I knew it when I installed it.

Any AIS is good.

I have a friend with a receiver and he was in the busy Cabot Strait crossing from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland. He said large ships, on their way to and from Montreal and Quebec City, showed up on his AIS receiver. Conditions were foggy but with his AIS he was able to call the ship by name, give them concise info S/V, course, speed...they were all very obliging and he didn't have an issue with the ships. They have radar, lookouts, fog horns.

He said the only issue was Coast Guard Radio in Port aux Basque, Newfoundland. They heard him talk to ships but could not see him. He told me they radio operators were very nervous calling both him and transiting ships relaying info on his position. It's a 61nm crossing, weather was real good both times except for fog. He said Coast Guard kept him busy and he had enough going on.

Any AIS that shows you where something is coming is a bonus...just have it all somewhere you can see it while running the boat.

BTW...this was the same C&C Landfall 38 with the Espar heater we were talking about last week in a different thread.

Mine is still working fine. Checked it out yesterday with the boat on the hard, it was pulling up contacts from western Long Island Sound all the way to lower Manhattan.
