seems any boat with more than 6 passengers requires the operator (capt) to have a marine radio operators license? is this a test thing or application thing? FCC site is troublesome.

I use Louisiana Technical College-Young Memorial Campus for all of my training. I tend to know more than the instructors there. It makes passing easier. Then, I don't go to learn anything, but to get the certification.
Good call, for lunch, but I schedule my classes in March, when the dive season is slow, and the bugs start coming. Susie's Seafood has the most excellent boiled food in LA. Why can't I find Abita Amber in Morgan City?Yeh, but there is a great Oyster Po'boy at the gas station on the corner.
Not every captain has to hold one, but someone on every certified boat must. I didn't find it too troublesome to get one, paid the FCC 25 bucks and it came in the mail. Years ago it was a test, now it's just a fee. No test.
Frank, try "Rouse's" they have Abita Amber.
