"A mile from and not within.....

\"A mile from and not within.....

...any port, harbour or anchorage"

That is where the regs say that intership VHF traffic should not be instigated except for urgency & safety.

Shouldn't that make the Solent a very quite place?

Hows about a regular broadcast by HMCG immediately before each weather broadcast to remind folks of this requirement?

Presumably because at that range you can communicate by flag signals, Aldis lamp, or a boy scout and semaphore?

Just make sure it has its semaphore badge sewed neatly on its sleeve.
