The day it went active it was a special notice on the VHF all day long, your right was really no real media news about the change.

I just checked the Port Angeles phone number I had for CG SAR and it is still answered but is being forwarded to the Sector Puget Sound, so I just changed to that number to carry in my phone on the boat.
