[BC] Emergency Traffic /was/ Studio? We don't need no stinkin'studio!

[Craig Bowman]

I have not been on channel 19 in more than twenty years but the traffic 
I hear on marine CH 16 is not nearly as bad as 19 used to be.  Most of 
the traffic on 16 is boats calling boats then moving to a different 
channel to BS.  People seem to have a little more respect for the marine 
radio.
