This is commonly called the Bridge-to-
Bridge channel. Large vessels and
towboats depend on this channel for their
safe navigation. Railway or highway
bridges which open for ship navigation
often operate on this channel.
Bridge-to-Bridge stations must reduce
power to one watt for routine operations.
