Rob Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 If you did with without DSC and now you have a DSC radio you need to at least do an update / upgrade course. But I guess you need to find you original license for that !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick, there are two entirely separate issues here. 1. The operators licence 2. The boats licence. The latter will have a record, but is unrelated to the operators licence that you seem to be referencing as lost. That's relatively easy to check using the MARS database and sure enough you are listed there. WEKENS DREAM has a VHF station and a call sign of 2HCA9 but no MMSI listed. The physical licence issued should be displayed on the boat itself. Your starting point for the latter will be whoever issued it, and possibly the RYA. Unless it was a long time ago you will have done the DSC element which has been part of the course for around 15 years now.. If you contact them with your name and address at the time of issue they may well be able to assist you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
