To date, we have installed 25 Jotron radios that allow us to hear radio traffic and relay critical information to the U.S. Coast Guard. We also serve as a broadcast center to share pertinent information to mariners. Our system has helped save lives and the build out continues.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e7532-e19 m5t8-t m5t8-v m5t8-w m5t8-x\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-div e7532-e20 m5t8-0 m5t8-1 m5t8-2\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2080px\" height=\"800px\" src=\"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/stories\/9a45ec4222c94435a75e28d2ac372df2\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VHF-FM Communications Filling critical communication coverage gaps across Alaska, monitoring radio activity for distress calls, and broadcasting notice to marinersExpanding coverage for peace of mind To supplement available radio communications and fill coverage gaps, MXAK\u00a0 &#8230; <\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mxak.org\/development\/services\/vhf-communications\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":0,"parent":7277,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-blank-4.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7532","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","no-post-thumbnail"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>VHF-FM Communications - Marine Exchange of Alaska<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mxak.org\/development\/services\/vhf-communications\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"VHF-FM Communications - Marine Exchange of Alaska\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"VHF-FM Communications Filling critical communication coverage gaps across Alaska, monitoring radio activity for distress calls, and broadcasting notice to marinersExpanding coverage for peace of mind To supplement available radio communications and fill coverage gaps, MXAK\u00a0 ...
