Anyone know of a plain language guide to using the VHF. My background is CB only. I'm sure there are rules and etiquette to be observed and I don't want to find out that I've put someone else or myself in jeopardy by being ignorant. I plan to take a few courses in navigation and so forth, but nothing in my life ever seems to go in the traditional sequence.
As always, TIA,
