After spending time cruising and using the Marine SSb and listening to HAM for weather and friends I realized that HAM would be useful. Many times some of cruising friends could be heard on the HAM bands, but we were unable to talk with them as we weren't lecensed, though the marine HF we have on board is capable.

So yesterday I passed my Tech with 100% and missed 3 on the gGneral. Took a flier at the extra and missed. But that was expected as I didn't study for it.

Having multiple ways to communicate for fun, general safety, and increase opportunities to connect with others will be a great advantage.
