vhf course
yes this course is the new dsc variation.....
it lasts approx 8 hrs and includes all items about short range vhf using mock up real hard wired radios and simulators (easy peasy ) there is a short 22 marks written paper and a simple practical assessment. for those who want re re-qualify you do not officailly need to until you get a dsc set but as those are the only ones you can now buy its probably worth it!
If you OWN A VHF RADIO YOU CANNOT LEGALLY USE IT without first passing this course!
we use real radios during the day learning about epirbs sarts navtex and others a good course and worth a days visit prior to the boating season I was thinking either beginning of Jan or whenever we can all agree a date
there is also a £20 rya license fee and you need to bring a passport photo> hope this is of help and good to blow away christmas blues, based in old portsmouth and you can arrive by water if you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cheers

Holy Crap!
You guys have to take an 8 hour class just to have the ability to use a VHF?
Over here, you buy a VHF and use it. I would think that having an 8 hour requirement would result in many people not bothering to buy a radio, and then putting themselves and response teams at risk while boating.
Granted, there are a bunch of morons over here that use it as if it is their personal radio frequency, giving no care about anybody else, but getting a license does not stop that.
Is there some other form of non-licensed com in England?

Many people use VHF without a licence. I'm one of them! I am not sure but I think you are required to get the licence if you intend to go racing. I think.
NICE BOAT!

Legal Requirements - before transmitting
It is a legal requirement to have a ship's radio licence and marine radio operator's certificate before you use transmitting equipment from your yacht. On the ship's radio licence you will find your vessel's international callsign and, if requested, 9 digit MMSI number. To obtain a ships radio licence in the UK visit the radio licencing centre web site www.radiolicencecentre.co.uk
