Another thread about radar use had me thinking about low vis ops. I run a Fog-mate fog horn in low vis but I usually only hear fog signals from commercial vessels. There are often MANY recreational angler boats in the vicinity but I never recall hearing one from them.
Do you have an automated fog horn signaling device on your boat? If so, do you use it regularly in low visibility conditions? Is it a radio function over a loud speaker on the bow or does it involve the use of your vessel's horn system?
If not, do you just estimate the timing and sound your horn about every 2 minutes?
Do you notice many other boats in the fog using their fog horns?
Sometimes I wonder, "Is it just me?"
