So because an RSA doesn't say a VHF Marine broadcast warning boaters of danger should be made, does that mean it shouldn't be made? Safety applies then only to ocean boaters?

If the MP started making weather broadcasts, wouldn't that set expectations that with no warning it is safe? I am pretty sure issuing warnings like this is not part of their charter. The MP is not set up to constantly monitor for unsafe conditions and might be too busy to issue a warning if there was an impending problem. Instead of the MP, it might be more practical for VHF users on the lake to warn each other. Would using channel 16 for this qualify as appropriate use?
