In considering installing an SSB transceiver set for offshore, I exchanged e mails and a call with an official 'Ham' chap listed as a regional contact. He was somewhat dour and informed me that it would take two or three years to acquire the relevant licence to use a transceiver at sea. Surely all the boats using SSB for offshore voyages have not studied and sat all the required exams, or is it a case of less said the better?
