It always amazes me that ANYONE would prefer to conduct business on the VHF radio, when cell service is cheap, private and easy to use. I'm not sure why folks still hail restaurants, marinas, taxis and the like on VHF...when those same people wouldn't be caught dead without their smart phones. I'm thinkin' that this is really 'Barney Fife -ism'.
Seriously, kids, just use your phone.
I'm trying to think of my choice for silliest use of Channel 16...and I think that the winner goes to the folks hailing the 'Ginger Island Yacht Club'. Kudos, amigos.
