Let me throw out this question then.
IIRC USCG regulations require commercial vessels to carry VHF and monitor VHF16.
Now I know that NH is a world unto itself and while USCG rules are accepted pretty much everywhere else in the US, not so in NH.
So, the question becomes are NH commercial vessels, and I would argue that the NHMP falls into this category, required under USCG rules to carry Marine VHF radios and monitor VHF 16?
BTW, I'll ask again. Did the NHMP issue a severe WX warning on VHF 16 for today's events?
