: If you use a marine radio, you will need to use your call sign or name of
: boat. See link below for discussion.

I use Kayak followed by the number of kayaks in my group.

This weekend, there was 3 of us, so I used "Kayak 3".

You don't technically need an assigned call sign anymore, since they did away with the requirement for recreational users (us) to have a Radiotelephone Operators Permit.
