Learn how to uses a marine radio, get familar with the phonetic alphabet, understand procedural words and phrases, and know what the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) means for those on the water.

It is illegal to operate a VHF radio without this certification (valid for your lifetime).
