In Canada, if you wish to legally use your VHF in the USA and other countries you need to obtain a radio license for the radio, which IC will then grant you a call sign, the once you have a radio license in Canada you are supposed to use this call sign in all VHF transmissions.

Yes I can get an MMSI number for free from the Canadian government but it just gives me a number I can use/say over the air... I guess in an emergency they can use it to look up my vessel data, etc. and save a lot of questions in a crisis - they will probably ask those questions regardless. Dan
