Hi,

I was just curious to find out how many boats have a marine radio. The
reason I fly volunteer patrols for the Coast Guard auxilary and having a
marine radio makes it much easier to provide help.

Thanks,

I have a hand held, but it stays at home because I believe you can't
use it without a licence, here in Canada. Is this correct?

Maybe I should just stow it for emergencies, and face the concequences
later? The Coast Guard guys are pretty active here in the
Windsor/Detroit area.

I emailed the local Power & Sail club, they said they'd inform me when
a course was available ...... that was a year ago.
