     Hello All,
     With the California boat registration fee being
    only $5.00 per year, and only requiring attention
    once every 2 years (a 10 dollar check gets you a
    sticker valid for 2 years) I never even thought
    once about Federal Documentation.
    It costs more, requires annual renewal, and I can
    not find any advantage to having it.
     Anybody know a good reason to use Federal
    Documentation?
     I heard there was supposed to be a problem with
    international radio permits, but the web site I
    was referred to about getting a boat license for
    VHF, SSB, and HAM radio indicated one could either
    enter the documentation OR state registration
    number on the form.
     The Mexican Consulate in San Diego also indicated
    there was no problem with California state
    registered boats and radio usage, as long as the
    boat had proper Federal radio licensing.

     Anything I don't understand here?

     Not that I would be at all shocked to discover
    that there were MANY things about this subject I
    don't understand.
       :-)
