QCs are going to be KCs, does that mean they get a Sunshine Band?

Serves 'em right! I suppose someone thought "HMHM" was a silly acronym...

Why not just call Harbour Master, Harbour Master?

When I kept my boat in Portsmouth the norm seemed to be "QHM Portsmouth" so it’s really not a big deal to change to KHM.

'Cos there is a HM at the Commercial Port as well as Q(K)HM. Admittedly the Commercial one monitors Ch13 and Q(K)HM Ch 11 but they have been known to operate both.

Will calls to QHM Portsmouth be given a stiff ignoring by KHM staff?

They have ships with big guns.
In Plymouth we call 'Longroom' or 'Flag' depending where you are. They are always very polite and helpful.

Royal Harbour Master might have kept it more continuous?

I suspect that the two remaining “aging Queens” as Freddie referred to the band are quite happy as they are. The question there is when will they stop touring!

Good idea. It’s such a PITA changing it every 70 years………

With the current line up, I reckon they've got at least 90 now years as KHM, which I imagine will see most of us out.

As of 1200 today, Her Majesty's Coastguard became His Majesty's Coastguard.
