[ve-l] EPIRB Disposal

[dlsiesel at cox.net]

Thank you for all of the reply's to my original question. If I collect any of these old EPRIBS this summer, I will happy to send them to any other VSC that needs one as an example for training, 

On a different topic, do we plan to educate boaters on the responsibilities, reg, etc involved with the new beacons? Like radar, many boaters will buy them without understanding the legal aspects, registration requirements, sticker, false alarm fines when they put a beacon on their vessel.
