I think you did the right thing by investigating. But if you see something that looks like a request for help, turn on your VHF radio before heading over there.
Technically I think if you have a VHF radio, you are supposed to keep it on (same goes for radar) and monitor 16 but it gets old quick and on a weekend the chatter becomes annoying and I turn it off. But if I see a USCG helo or jet or some smoke I normally switch it back on and become informed.
Those that were conducting the test should not have an attitude in any case.
(leakage from the gun thread....Now if you were carrying a gun you could have fired a few across the bow and that would have changed his attitude (just kidding) )
