   Did anyone else have any problems with reception coming in and out for Noaa weather stations during Okuome?.  Thought something was wrong with my radio,  as it was cutting in and out  ... but just now testing down here and no problem at all... Hmm?

   BB,

   I did,in fact, have some problems with my VHF.  It suddenly stopped transmitting.  I have an ICOM M36 and it has been reliable.  I have yet to ascertain whether it needs to be replaced.  During the race, I noticed that my Samsung tablet running a Navionics app interferred with the radio.  Caused a bunch of static.  I need to find someone to help with a radio check and see if it works now.  Royd
