They make really cheap radios that just pick up the weather bands, but that's right about using the VHF to communicate over land... it is a violation. Not sure of the specific laws or anything, but I clearly remember that in my readings.
I just remember thinking about that 'cause over on Nantucket, we often have someone out in the boat, someone oversand on Smith's or something. I have a handheld vhf and thought we could use it to communicate.
Not that I'm that much of a boyscout that I wouldn't do it... being on the beach is pretty close to being on the water.
