Hi all,

I am a final year undergraduate student, studying Marine Navigation
(BSc) at the University of Plymouth (UK), conducting a study of the use
of cell phones by recreational boaters. This includes an assessment of
the practices and views of a broad cross section of all recreational
boaters, and I would be very grateful if you would contribute to the
study by taking two minutes to complete a short and anonymous
questionnaire. Please follow the link below to access the
questionnai

Many thanks,

Nick Loewendahl

If you would like a copy of the completed report please email me with
your contact details.

I think even a local sailor should carry several types of communication
devices.

We carry:

Cell phone
Fixed VHF
Backup Fixed VHF
Handheld VHF
FRS Radios
Mobile and fixed emergency antennas

Hey, he needs that much help...

I believe open flames can also be used for distress signals.

Why? If his pizza shoppe doesn't get an order from him at least
every two hours they'll send out a search party.

Any money in renting mast space as a mobile tower/repeater?

I wonder why Scotty is so bothered by a boat carrying a toddler also
carrying 6 lbs of extra safety communications gear?

Almost every boat I know of carries a cell phone (because everyone has
one these days), a handheld and a fixed radio. So all I carry that's
"extra" is the spare radio and emergency antennas. I've acquired a few
radios over the last few years, so keeping a spare on board with a
little rollup antenna is not exactly panic in the wings, Katy. The FRS
radios are for fun, in case you thought anyone was going to call for
help on them.
