We were told last night that upon entering Canada we must have a VHF license. Is there any truth to that? The speaker informed us that the cost would be $110 for a 10 year license. Since we are planing on entering Canada this coming summer it would be nice to know what the requirements are. Can any one shed any light on this? Karl & Phyllis 34MT "Mi-Ka III"

The speaker informed us that There is a comfortable agreement in the maritime world between our countries and the gist (or at least the intent) of it is that if you are legally licensed in your own country to use specific transmitting/receiving equipment, you are alright in the visiting country. Come on up already - we'll make you comfortable. George of Scaramouche in Lake Ontario, Canada P.s: That "agreement" does NOT apply to guns - beware!

You are still required to have a vhf license but the gov't dropped the annual renewal last year. Shaun aboard Rana III
