[amsat-bb] Re: Ham Radios on Cruises

[Bob Bruninga]

Can we nail down all the cruise ships that prohibit it and those that allow
it into a single document.  Then provide a link to it on the AMSAT web page?

This topic comes up over and over, and someday when I retire, I too am going
to want to go on cruise, AND take ham radio along, and so I too will be
asking this question.

So this is a good INFO topic that we need to collectively nail down, and
then get it permanently posted on the AMSAT web page...

Thanks...
Then we can UPDATE it as new info comes in (everyone write their cruise ship
and indicate you're not taking their cruise if you cannot bring your
radio)...

Thanks, Clint -- I noticed that the same cruise line allows walkie-talkies
up to 5 watts. That sounds like an HT to me, but we'll see.
