It is channel 13 that the barge and ship traffic use on the Columbia. They also monitor 16.

Here's a good site regarding all the issues of anchoring in river traffic:

You can hail on channel 16, but don't chat there. Channel 68 is popular for non-commercial boat to boat communication. Although, in my experience, there isn't a lot of VHF talk on the Columbia. Cell phones rule the day there.

ditto pete's comment. 68/72 for disinformation and then jump to a cell phone :wink: zzzzzzip
