AM not FM, too. Marine bands are FM.


They might fly a [...] marine band radio for the purpose though.


And break the law in the process. Marine band is for marine only.
CB would be an option, though.

G Fiddle faddle the law. Shore stations talk on "marine" bands, all
the time and truth be known, spotter planes working for fishermen do the
same (stated without regard to petty legalities that may apply or be
circumvented).
BTW, it can be said that marine bands ARE AM/FM, though the average
boater doesn't use AM.
