    the little person is only a little person because they want to be one.

    If you should be towing your boat along the road and someone rams you and they have no license nor insurance nor any means of paying for the repairs..just remember that they are just sick and tired of being told what to do also..so you would obviously understand and not get annoyed.

    why do you have a gun license..previous post you stated that you were sick of being told what to do.

    You say you use VHF for work..i would presume that is land based..well the certificate that is being discussed is the MROVCP..the M stands for Marine..I doubt you would have many securitae calls on land.

    For the sake of a couple of bucks surely it is easier to get it ...plus..it is a very informative course.

    If you cant afford the safety gear (and relevant training/licencing), you cant afford to be on the water IMO

    JT, do you have a boat licence? If so, why?

    Think your way off mate
    If they don't have insurance well sue
    But a license for a radio channel How does that compare to this
    I have had this arguement before my father has had a certificate license since Adam was a boy now why all of a sudden it's an issue?
    And i am a promenant Coast Gaurd Supporter
    I cannot see the piont
    Will they fine me for using UHF because it's more widly used the VHF where's the reasoning.
    How many people have had a license to shoot AND KILL JOE BLOW DOWN THE ROAD HOW HAS THAT STOPPED ANYTHING?
    I know right from wrong why punish me?
    And i am serious if i am pulled up i will drive my foot into my radio to prove my piont so how are they going to distinguish wether or not it worked in the first place.
    I call every trip when VMR or Coastguard are in Time preference and have relations that run inside the coastguard.

    Re: Is a VHF Radio licence really necessary

    JT - your argument is flawed mate.
    are you serious - gun license and shooting people = vhf license and inappropriate transmissions?

    the point of the license is to train people to use the tool correctly so that it can save lives. sure it doesn't stop any idiot misusing it, but the same can be said for cars, trucks, bikes, guns, forklifts, brain surgery etc etc - you have to have a license for all of these pursuits in life.

    if we follow your reasoning, I can't afford the money to renew my vehicle license but, dammit, I am a good driver and have driven for years. I DESERVE to do what I like without proper accreditation...
    when the cops pull me up, i'll start kicking and screaming and then they'll really know how I think the system stinks against the working man...

    that'll show em

    Re: Is a VHF Radio licence really necessary

    why do you keep harping on about guns..what does that have to do wth marine certificates.
    as for suing..did you not see that I said they had no means of paying for it so why sue?? How about you have someone aboard your boat..all goes pear shaped and they get injured or killed..and you have no MROVCP..I wonder who will be sued then.

    Wow....sounds like time for a little anger management.

    If we all felt this way about Licenses, regulations and the law there would be anarchy!!!

    Re: Is a VHF Radio licence really necessary

    oh and in response again to the original question - if it is law that a license is required then you have a very clear answer.
    it's irresponsible to argue about the merits of the license or whether you agree or not with it - its a legal requirement and therefore you must do it.

    in NSW you need a fishing license, but do all people who have one fish legally? at the end of the day, there is very little policing of the vhf licensing therefore many like you will never be caught out.
    you wouldn't be arguing this if police actually demanded to see proof when they stop you on the water - I'm sure many more would see the 'merits' of attaining a license if that began happening.

    Re: Is a VHF Radio licence really necessary

    some thing goes a miss
    Hmmm if i haven't got a VHF how will that effect my insurance
    I'm a memeber of ClubMarine i can't see anything in there about my insurance beening NUL and VIOD because i haven't got a VHF license

    WHAt happened to free speech
    Sorry for stating using a VHF on land and if you listen to some channels alot of people use UHF on the Ocean should we redicule them
    This is Not anger management goes this is just silly revenue making
    Tough don't like it i'll shut up

    Re: Is a VHF Radio licence really necessary

    wow. haven't i shaken the bees nest.

    Mik01 to add to what you said about police demanding it. i have been pulled up on many a fishing trip where the water police asked if we had a licence to drive a boat. Both the owner and myself have a licence, but left our wallet in the car... the cops said that was fine.

    Ok.. think about this........ Travelling through Green Zones you have to have your fishing gear "technically speaking" unrigged... but who does.... So. if i'm on the water with my VHF aeriel not plugged in and sitting on the floor they can't technically get me for not having a VHF licence as it isn't connected.

    Don't back off now! The only reason that I have not weighed in on this argument, in your support, is because I made a New Year resolution to be very nice to Fisheries, Water Police, Volunteer rescue organisations and other assorted authority figures.

    If we follow the USA example you might not have to worry about interest rates increasing for too much longer - the yanks are on the way down again - big time. Whether it will be enough to head of a recession is any one's guess.
