I will say again, I am fully compliant. My ICOM 802 is an approved Marine SSB with HAM capabilities. I have station license, operator license, and HAM General. I do know of cruisers using their HAM rigs (non type certified for marine SSB) on marine SSB. I have no idea how they got their station license with a HAM rig, but they do not have two HF radios on board and the one they use is a commercially available HAM rig that will operate on just about any freq you can imagine, upper or lower SSB. Pathetic or not, I don't find their infraction worthy of a rant.

Rather than continue a P****ng match, you may fire the last shot, I will not counter. You are of course dead right.
