Hey, Larry, who keeps you from being arrested? According to the FCC
license database neither you nor "your captain" hold any kind of license
that allows you to operate that Icom.

The boat has a station license (WDB6254) but if "your captain" is also
the owner and licensee Geoffrey you guys had better have someone aboard
who is licensed to operate that radio ...

Did the FCC miss something Larry?
