If you're gonna run your mouth about catching on the VHF, pray nobody is around on a commercial boat with a VHF-RDF.

They'll find you and take your fish.

Also stay the hell off 16, 9, 22 with your blabbering, its bad form, those are working channels, not your "blahblahswearswearblahblahswearswear" channels.

Same goes for SSB, stay off of 12-1, thats Herb's routing channel for boats offshore. He does offshore sailors and cruisers a GREAT service by offering weather/gulfstream routing for FREE. A few of us have met him, and he's really a great guy who does his best at giving people the information they need for absolutely zero return other than a thank you!

Just venting after a long past 2 days with the VHF and SSB on!
