Radio Check
In Florida, and I assume other places, Tow BoatUS and SeaTow have started replying to radio checks in effort to help aleviate some of the the air traffic. When you hail for a radio check, either BUS or ST will respond and request a different channel to perform the check.
That said, it would be just as easy to hail BUS or ST on their respective opperating channels and never have to foul up the air waves on 16 with a radio check. Hail on their monitored working channel first, then on 16 only after receiving no response.
