USCG – VHF channel changes coming
TheUSCG Navigation Center issued a notice stating that the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) has amended the VHF maritime radio channel
numbering scheme which will affect 18 channels used in the U.S. New VHF
radios will eventually begin using this scheme. Changes to U.S. channel
numbers are shown on the USCG NAVCEN U.S. VHF Channels page. (10/12/16) [

The only change I can see is that instead of the US channel using an A
after the channel, now it drops the A and adds 10 as a prefix.
22A is now 1022 etc The non A channels look the same.

So now will we say 'ten-o-five' and 'ten-twenty two' when we speak the
channel number on air?
