>From the US Coast Guard Navigation web site:
"If you plan to travel more than a few miles offshore, plan to purchase an
MF/HF radiotelephone or mobile satellite telephone, an emergency position
indicating radio beacon, or EPIRB, and a second VHF radio or cellular telephone
as well. Mobile satellite telephones are becoming more common and more
inexpensive. The mobile satellite will provide easier and clearer
communications than the MF/HF radiotelephone, but the HF radiotelephone will
receive high seas marine weather warnings. "
Nothing about buying a cheap ham rig there.....
A list of Coast Guard MF/HF frequencies is listed here:

Nowhere do I find any reference to 14.300....
