GL: FCC Requirements for separate HF radios on boats

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I'm not sure on which of these two lists the question
was raised about HF SSB radios aboard boats.  I have
previously stated that FCC requires that the amateur
and marine HF radios on boat or aircraft be separate
and distinct.

These requirements are contained in FCC Regulations
Part 97 (Amateur Radio) at Para 97.11(b).

There is a very narrow authorization for use of a
COMMON ANTENNA for the separate amateur and
marine HF/SSB radios in a VOLUNTARY SHIP RADIO
INSTALLATION.

The complete Part 97 regulation can be found at:
