Hi Dave,

I know this is kind of off-thread, but... I figured you might know since
you've paddled in the QC's.

What is the standard operating procedure for an American kayaker using a
handheld VHF in Canadian waters?

If I'm not mistaken, we no longer need a license to use handhelds in the
US.  The licensing is still required in Canada.  Or is it just one of
those things...just like your USCG-approved PFD isn't technically
approved of in Canada, but it is an "approved" piece of safety
equipment.

Shawn
