Have you got one of these cards? If not, you could be in violation of the law if you use a VHF Radio.
Did you receive your VHF certification prior to January 2005? You aren't legally certified to use the new DSC radios. Take the upgrade and receive your DSC certification.
The VHF Radio course provides you with the tools and techniques to use the Marine VHF Radio properly. The VHF radio is a lifeline on the water, but it isn't the same as a telephone. Take the VHF Radio course and learn all you need to know about its importance and how to use it safely and wisely. This course covers proper use
of the VHF radio, distress, urgency, and safety communications, use of
the phonetic alphabet and more. Successful completion leads to the lifetime
Restricted Radiotelephone Operators Certificate from Industry Canada. This course requires student participation and there is an oral examination, class sizes are therefore restricted to ensure that each student receives individual attention in the proper procedures for radio calls.
