off at you.

Larry, So what kind of license do you have to make that call on HF?

Neither you or "your captain" have a license according to the FCC. Tell
us all about your First Class Phone and your GROL and your GMDSS
Operator and Maintainer licenses again.

Bwahahahahahahaha ... old fraud.

ANY US citizen can apply for and receive, a Restricted Radio Operator
Permit (lifetime), that allows them to operate an Aircraft or Marine HF
Transceiver installed abaord any US Flagged Vessel or Aircraft in
noncommerical service, as well as commercial service on Uninspected
Vessels. These are not numbered, so they don't show up in the FCC's
Database of Licensed Persons.

The ham responded, immediately. An American ham contacted someone in the
State Department who acted as liason with Nicaraguan Air Force to start

acted as relay station for the boat to get all the usual form-filler-outer
data to them.

you miss the point. there is a reason we ask the questions we do.
being both a ham who's handled distress calls, and a CG radio operator
at station sandy hook, the hostility to both camps is unwarranted.


I listened for over 2 hours while pouring over a DC wiring nightmare in our
boat. Not ONCE did USCG come on 14.300 Mhz to talk to this fishing boat,
directly, or did any other government bureaucracy in any country. Why? CG
tried to get him to go to one of the marine HF SSB freqs, but he ended up
back on 20 meters after hearing nothing in reply to his calls there on the
same radio. Any CG can commandeer 14.300 for emergencies. Are their
frequency dials stuck?

i've heard the CG on 14.3 many times.

the CG handles many, many more distress calls than ham radio does. and
the difference is the CG is the ones to go get the folks.

Regarding your assertion that "making calls to a

it would be useful to consider Section 80.89:


Channel 9.....

"Wappoo Cut Bridge, this is Lionheart, over?"

"Lionheart this is Wappoo Cut Bridge, go ahead?"

"Can you hear me ok, over?"

"Sure, Lionheart. Sounds great."

"Thank you for a great service to all of us. Lionheart out."

(She usually thanks you for saying something nice.)

Bridgetenders are great people. One of them made all the new cushions and
curtains in her home upholstery business for Lionheart! They don't mind
talking to you from their boring jobs, especially if it's not busy.

Too bad many are losing their jobs they've had for so many years....dumped
for the new high bridges.....

FCC Rules permit you to call your favorite bridgetenders on Channel 9
without the CG bitching you out.....(c;



Actually you have been able to contact Bridge Tenders on Channel 13
(the Navigation Channel) for MANY years, but a few years back, the FCC
and USCG decided to move those Comms to Channel 9, when they designated
that Channel as a Secondary Calling Channel in the Maritime Mobile Radio
Service. This was advised, so as to free up Channel 13 for strictly
Bridge to Bridge Radio Traffic.

Interesting. Out of all the many bridges on the ICW, the Wapoo Creek
operators (one on the way down, another on the way up) were the only
ones that we had trouble with.

Once again the FCC seems to believe otherwise. Check out:
http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsS...rchLicense.jsp
and enter Butler, Larry under the selection for Restricted Radio
Operators ... put in Smith and you will get a whole page of Restricted
Radio Operators with license numbers.


Face it, Larry is a fraud who doesn't hold any license other than his
ham ticket and has repeatedly trashed many here for not having the
licenses he claims to hold. He cannot sumbit a single license number to
prove otherwise. He was run off once already when he got caught in his
stupid tirade about GMDSS, which showed his ignorance so badly it was
obvious he didn't have any GMDSS training, certifications or commercial
marine qualifications whatsoever. Now the old goat rants because the CG
won't let him adjust their VHF radios ... what a loon. He is a fraud.

THis is interesting. I'll have to listen to vhf marine channels 13
and 9.

ON the upper MIssissippi (Burlington Iowa) where I lived much of my
life channel 14 is used for the drawbridges and both lock and dams 18
and 19 iirc. there's a couple of railroad drawbridges etc. in the
stretch between Davenport Iowa and the MIssouri border.
