Not sure if you have a name for your kayak vessel, but you would at least have a call number... or maybe something like this... "Vessel: Redsledteam WSP7792" ? Did the rules change for VHF radio stations?

Great and important question that I hope we can get a definate answer for.
I like to believe that in the case of an emergency where no one was around to help and I had to call the CG I would be able to give an approximate location based on landmarks in the event my GPS is down.
