Now I hear of a local pizza place on the waterfront (in Seabeck, WA) that
monitor and operates on Marine VHF, to take your pizza order and has it
delivered via boat. This is a case where the Cell Phone should be used.

Carry your marine walkie talkie INLAND, some time. I had a friend,
who died of cancer in 1994, who ran his pest control business in
Greenville, SC, far from any ocean on Channel 10 for 15 years or so.
Noone ever bothered him. He had a base station on a 70' tower at his
office and used cheap marine VHF mobiles very successfully. You could
hear "Charlie One" all over Greenville. The tower was on the side of
a mountain.

Maybe we could get the power grid fixed if every politician
regulating the power companies wasn't on their payrolls.
