Thanks for clearing that up Loyde I certainly will be going to get my cert when i get the time.
I guess its a rather open topic when it comes to policing such use of the VHF and perhaps if it is an issue ( and it appears to be) It would be wise if it became part of boating licences !!
Anyway your comments are very clear and ones i agree with and safety is the key issue , i continue to use mine and will do as long as i use my boat.

i am in the middle of one of Lloyds courses at the moment, i don't own a vhf only a 27 meg which has only been turned on about 10 times in the last 4 years. i am doing it with purely out of interest in radio procedure. i have to admit to not knowing a real lot about vhf & the course is interesting. if you own a vhf, i would recommend the course, even if you don't get the certificate (fail) purely for the basic knowledge of procedure.
