U.S. Coast Guard sent this bulletin at 06/27/2018 06:19 PM EDT

MIAMI — Coast Guard Sector Miami reported a loss of radio communication capability Wednesday.

The Coast Guard cannot monitor radio traffic offshore and is urging mariners to use extreme caution throughout the Miami Captain of the Port Zone, which includes the ports and waterways surrounding Fort Pierce, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and the Miami areas.

Mariners are reminded to check all safety equipment, carry a fully charged cell phone, and file a float plan with a friend or family member before getting underway.

If in distress, mariners should attempt to call Coast Guard’s Seventh District Command Center at 305-415-6818 or 305-415-6800.

A Coast Guard aircraft has been launched to monitor communications in Sector Miami COTP Zone. The estimated time of repair is unknown, but the Coast Guard is developing a radio coverage plan in the event repairs cannot be fixed for an extended period. A press release and notification will be issued once radio communications are restored.

“Besides, we are “too stupid” to “understand” that stuff...“

Of course. It’s not like there are a couple of million HAM operators just wandering around the US or anything.

I’m thinking it was intentional by our enemies foreign or domestic. Someone is sending in something/someone they don’t want us to know about.

Try raising ANYBODY on 16 in Puget Sound. I’ve tried while looking directly at the USCG station where they are monitoring it.

Watchstanders are likely getting better at Skyrim, or wondering if Fallout 76 is going to suck (it will).

...that’s a pretty catastrophic hardware failure.

My guess too.

If it was the actual transmitter, that might be a money issue. The circuits between the towers and the command centers are commercial and sometimes just fail. You have to wait for the company to fix it.
