Interesting. I just looked over the sailmail primer again and it is
specific. US citizens need copies of the shore station licenses plus
a ship's station license and a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's
Permit. As I recall it took them some time to get the station
licenses. I wonder if they got some kind of waiver...

As there's no mention of these ASCII or other data modes in any of the
FCC's new pages of operator requirements, I think on a pleasure boat,
Restricted is plenty....as is your MR license.

I didn't recognize your reference to MRO...sorry. That's called MR now....

GMDSS has turned the Commercial licenses on their ears. GROL is now called
PG, but unless you work on aircraft or marine radios of high power, the
other services aren't licensing the technicians any more, thanks mostly to
the huge broadcast corporations looking to reduce labor costs. Anybody can
operate a 25 megawatt UHF TV transmitter, now....
......if he survives that first trip behind the panel...(c;
