Nope, the Marinra Operators just need to be EDUCATED, on how to use
the 1 Watt switch on their radios, when talking to a vessel they can see
out the window........



One watt from a 9db antenna at 70', used to advertise the marina simply by
it telling boaters their name, is of no use. Marina operators are teenage
kids from the local college working the docks, here. They need WALKIE
TALKIES in the 100 milliwatt range, not 1 watt radios with 70' towers and
high gain antennas.
