go to www.ofcom.org.uk its free for life ;D if you have a dsc radio they will send you a code number for your radio ,so if you have to use it the coastgaurd has all your boat details if they ask to see a licence and you dont have one you could get a £5000 fine  |

You still need to attend a VHF operators course to get a license which costs about £70

I`m told that you can use a vhf for safety use without a licence (i`m sure you wont get nicked for shouting SOS) but you need one for chatting on the chat channels.
You are only asked your id when telling the coast guard of your ETA safety request.

I think that is for people who suffer from some sort of disability.
