For paddlers who have 'shared' roads with logging trucks:
Do any of you monitor the VHF frequencies the truckers are using?
I found a link to a 2015 map of logging areas and radio channel assignments (Note- these are NOT the marine channels):

For S. Vancouver Island:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/f...-maps/coastradiofrequencynov23-2015_v10_8.pdf
The frequencies corresponding to those channels are here:

Some marine radios like the IC-M88 can be programmed with 'additional' channels. There are also many very cheap handheld VHF radios (Baofeng and others) now available. I know there are amateur radio enthusiasts here on WCP - any comments?
If it's not useful to monitor the logging VHF traffic, I'd rather spare myself the effort of programming my radio!
Thanks!
