THe only reason ssb on boats is stil here
is becuase there is a group of sprots/amature enthusisast who enjoy
jaw jacking and then tell everyone who owns a boat they have to have
one to be safe. Its like a cult similar to Amway or Scientology. Its a
club gone birkshire.....


Nonsense. I rarely talk on ours, everything is digital EMAIL, GRIB
files, position reporting or weather FAX. Wouldn't leave home
without it. SSB has come a long way in the last 10 years or so.
