Sometimes some of you people truely amaze me.
We are talking about a NHMP dispatcher picking up a microphone on a Marine VHF radio and saying the following:
Securiety, securitey security, hello all stations, this is the New Hampshire Marine Patrol Glendale. Switch channel 1-7 for severe weather broadcast information...out.
Channel 1-7...Securiety security secuirty, hello all stations this is the New Hampshire Marine Patrol Glendale...the National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for Belknap and Carroll Counties until 2:45. The warning includes but is not limited to Laconia, etc etc.
How much time and money did that take to read?

I would not expect that from MP. I am perfectly capable of keeping myself safe. In fact, it is my personal responsibility. But we have no more room for that in NH anymore, do we?
I don't have a radio of any kind on my boat. Should there be a law that states I must have one? That way, the MPs broadcast would be sure to reach everyone!

I can verify that your guess is wrong...we also bring the lightning detector. But we're a couple of weather weenies, so we might not count.

Why do you persist in beating your own drum ????
I told you NHMP DOES broadcast weather warnings !! I heard them myself ........ let your issues with trying to beat up on MP go. Geeeeez

So you'd rather that NH's boating safety agency NOT alert boaters to dangers? Why have AToN's? Find out where the rocks are yourself! NHMP doesn't do tows so why are they even in existance? To enforce rafting laws?? Local Police can respond to other issues!!!
Chip if you don't have a radio on board that's your problem, why should I be denied the advantage of the knowledge of approaching danger because you choose not to have a radio?
Phantom, as I pointed out you are the ONLY person to claim to have heard a broadcast and I personally was up there during a tornado warning and heard NO SUCH BROADCAST to the general boating public. Why do I persist in this? To save a life! Maybe mine, maybe yours, who knows?
Truely, I am amazed at the objection to something as simple as this that will provide a safety tool to the NH boating public! But then again, I am from AWAY!
