warnings and local marine weather forecasts for SE

Marine

require an official HF SSB maritime radio license and call-sign.
This is assigned by the radio communications authority in the vessel's
country of registration. Most countries require at least one
person (eg: owner/skipper) to hold a Limited Radio
Operator's certificate before issuing the vessel radio
licence and call-sign. The Limited Radio Operator's
certificate normally involves studying a small handbook
containing basic radio operating techniques, and detailed
information on maritime safety related communications.
Land based users require
a HF-SSB radio licence issued by the communications authority in their country where the
equipment is operated.
An
Amateur Radio Operators licence/call-sign is not required to
use
Brunei
Bay Radio services.
