No, I am talking of the Gulf Coast ICW East of the Mississippi River only. That is where Cardude is traveling. Locks of which there are none along that route until he gets to New Orleans (Industrial) are found on channel 14. Most commercial vessels west of Mississippi will keep a watch on 16 but the volume is down somewhat. East they will turn the volume up and go to a working channel when hailed. I always assumed this was do to the greater amount of traffic west of the River.
