What are the likely consequences if I don't?


So, Yes, if you take your Canadian boat into US waters, you require a
Canadian Ship Station License, in addition to the Radio Operator
Certificate. Similarly, a US vessel in Canadian waters requires a US
Ship Station License.

I understand that a few years ago, some Canadian vessels on the Great
Lakes got into Serious Legal Problems when they ventured into US
waters without a station license.


What were the SLPs? Would I be better off not transmitting in US
waters? Or are you thinking of the incidents in the Detroit River?
