I think as time goes on after 911, more and more regulator's are I believe doing the right thing but lacks the final punch, or even the big picture.. In my opinion! So I buy a radio with DCS included and proceed to get a MMSI number and that's when the breaks hit....
I contact the US Coastguard they send me to the main CG headquarters and they did some looksee and had to call me back. They call back and proceeded to have me contact the FCC to acquire an official MMSI number. I don't know about you all but, I think the FCC website is everything but useful..lol In order to do anything you have to LOGIN.. (
after filling out my life's history they email me a login code. Great Right!.. Not so fast.
so you read all the terms and conditions..bla..bla and finally the forms for application 100,102,106.. lalala... Yes finally found form 605 after reading some of it I said no way there has to be a better way.. or is there?
QUESTION: IS THERE A BETTER WAY? Please help me and others..
