Under international radio telephony agreements your UK operators licence cover you world-wide. Similarly if you had a VHF operators licence issued by another country it would be valid here. If you are talking about the ship's licence then you will need one issued by the country of ship registration. i.e. French Flag French licence, Britis/Jersey/IOM flag British Licence.

I've heard that the 'law' is enforces quite rigorously in the case of handhelds on land. You do require a separate licence and it has led to confiscation.
Of course I've never taken the handheld ashore to receive shopping instruction form 'her in the boat'.

Suggest not using Ch 16 for initial call up. Keep a band open eg 77

OK Byron. Seems quite reasonable but when I go out with the charter boats out of swansea they call up on 16 go to another chanel and talk about who caught what,what they are having for tea,who won the football etc. I thought this was a no no which is why I asked. I was talking about Costa Del Sol were there is practicaly no use of vhf. more comments please. I was expecting the old lady to call to say she wants to meet me for lunch in half an hour etc

Agree
If Italian fishermen can rabbit on all day long I can't see the harm in mama calling up for an extra kilo of pasta while I'm in the supermarcato
Common sence must prevail surely.

<font color=blue>A station based ashore can only be used on channels designated by the special licence issued to it. These are peculiar to the stations activities, a marina has 80 & 37 but no others for example. Ergo if you are using a handheld as a shore based station it is by its very nature unlicenced. If you contact the radio communications agency they will give you a handbook explaining everything, they do have a website.
As regards dudes using their sets to call home or for flippant intership chatting etc. Fine! until someone gets the ache because they cannot use their set due to channel monopolisation and registers a complaint.
