When I was told, literally, to **** off by a boat dealer using marine
VHF to run his business at a boat show, I called FCC and talked to the
nice man who works in enforcement like Mr Hollingsworth. I gave him the
dealer's name, address, phone number, etc., to help him. I was amazed
when he called me back and said he'd had a conversation with the US
Marshall's office who visited the dealer. I guess the dealer didn't
tell the US Marshalls to **** off, like he did me. Because the dealer
wasn't FCC licensed, he didn't come under FCC jurisdiction, so they sent
the Marshalls. It must have worked. I don't hear them on Channel 12
any more


A local Marine towing outfit in Ft Madison, IA uses Channel 11
for their trucks running around town, or at least they did when
I worked down there.

I guess this is the new Citizens' Band ?
