Default Radio license questions


"Roger Long" wrote in message
...
I'm filling out the FCC 605 forms so I can legally use my VHF when I go
into Canadian waters.

Do I need to have both an individual operator's license and a ship station
license? I don't see anyting in these forms that seem like the kind of
individual licence I got years ago unless it is the General Mobile Radio
Service , ZA, choice.

SA, Ship Recreational or Voluntarily Equipped, would seem to be the proper
choice but, would that let me use the radio on a US flag chartered vessel
in Canadian waters? (Assuming it had a Ship Station License)

Is there another form that I am missing?

Back in 2000 I took a two night seminar with the CPS and wrote a test to
receive my Restricted Radio Operators License.
They had just done away with the requirement for a pleasure craft station
license.
Yes we do hvae to possess this license to operate a VHF...not sure about
aliens.
