I've only tried to raise the Crab Claw restaurant in St. Micheals, and
the little harbor ferry. The ferry listens to channel 71, and the
barkeep has a portable VHF with which he calls the ferry for customers
who want to return to their boats. I called the restaurant once on 71 to
find out if there was a bit of dock space...they actually take
reservations.



Did he have call letters....(c; EVERY shore station is supposed to have a
SHORE STATION LICENSE...

I asked a boat dealer at a local boat show what his call letters were,
seeing as he was using it for his personal business band from the boat show
to the office, his trucks, etc. It wouldn't have said more than what he
was doing was illegal, until he told me to kiss off that he was a boat
dealer and some kind of immune from FCC rules/regs. Having ****ed me off,
I called FCC and they explained his problem to him. I guess I won't be
buying a boat from him....pity...(c;
