Thanks! Forgot all about that... We switch to low power during radio checks
while at the dock.

Nice guide. You should add a mention of high power and low power. There's
nothing more annoying than being stomped on by someone calling his local
water taxi in a harbor 30 miles away. Also, you should mention the pros
and cons of using a cell phone.

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,
Scout
