Hey Min,

I have a ham licence. I remember just fine, thank you very much. I
had mine before I used the SSB, and was trying to remember if it was
required in order to operate it.

It has been a few years since I have done some serious off shore
sailing because after a close call with losing my life I decided not
to do it again until my children are grown. Doing loads of coastal
stuff, though. No need for SSB there. At least I have not found the
need.

SSB is a completely different animal than VHF, of course. If I recall
correctly, I had to get a ham license in order to operate one.

You recall incorrectly. Marine SSB does not require a ham license. And
there's no way you'd not recall obtaining a ham radio operator's permit.
It's not a simple task.
