2. Are there auxiliary news on HF, or just VHF? As I mentioned before I
hold an amateur extra class license, so taking part in HF nets is not a
major problem.


It's my understanding that cross band communications between Amateur
Radio stations (non-type accepted) and Marine (type accepted) stations
is not allowed.

In an emergency, any means of communications is allowed.

Is this not correct?

Only an Advanced Class. To lazy to pass the test again. Couldn't do the
20 wpm part.
