Prob just some kids playing with a VHF marine Radio(ch 16)and their is a way u can track them......and as far as the boat name a Rubber Ducky is a small Ant. that goe's on a handheld Radio. I have been boating for a long time and know the laws and the rules of the water...so when people do this kind of stuff it make us look bad not to say the USCG and their time!and if it was a real Emergency then that diff.but just to play!
