This is consistent with international rules - use in foreign waters requires a license. US boaters need a license to use their VHF in Canadian waters. The only odd thing is the requirement for both a station license and an operator's certificate. I thought only the latter was required for US/Canada transborder travel and use. > Nor can I imagine why 9/11 should have > anything to do with such a regulation. I doubt it does - the regs date prior to 9/11.
