display - not yet ratified in the US on non-technical reasons I guess.


Same reasons the Coast Guard isn't listening for DSC distress calls. *Same
reasons that, despite the over hyped but still vital needs of homeland
security, billions were spent on new vessels for the USCG without getting so
much as a usable dinghy.

It's so depressing to watch. *Even worse to be paying for.

It's not like the 8th district is short on vessels and refusing to go
