Faster, better…

On the mid-Chesapeake (Annapolis to Cove Point) marine VHF channel 68 156.425 MHz has become a toilet of pornographic filth. Sadly some adults have no personal standards. On Sunday afternoon April 19, I heard some of the filthiest diatribes I have ever heard. Most of what was said beats the garbage mouths one hears on the CB radio.

The VHF marine band exists for three reasons:

!. Safety
2. Navigation
3. Commerce

It does not exist so a mindless jerk aboard a Bayliner imitating the accent of a foreign speaking fisherman can harass others and exchange gay jokes with other mindless fools. Pornographic behavior does not belong on VHF marine. It is time it ended – now would be good.

The general public has very few channels they are allowed to use on marine VHF. Using one of those channels for filth makes no sense. It is a waste of a valuable two-way radio resource. When is it going to end? It is probably a waste of my time to remind the morons that abuse the privilege that their little show is a violation of Federal Communications Commission Rules and Regulations under FCC Part 80. These nutcases have probably never looked at a regulation.

I encourage anyone that knows who these people are to turn them in to the FCC. It is high time someone brought the behavior to the FCC’s attention. It went on last year and has already resumed again at the start of a new season.
