[amsat-bb] Ham Radios on Princess Cruises

[Jerry Buxton]

Hi Mac,

I think something like that would not quite work, visiting several ports
for a day each it would still wind up being taken to the ship or perhaps
I could send one to each port.  The latter is a little out of my budget,
though!    :-)
If it could be understood that I won't operate or even carry it on the
ship, just in our backpack when we leave the ship to explore each port...
One of these crossed my mind, I caught some of their Hamvention meeting
Saturday night at the BBQ joint we ate at:

It's really a cell phone, not a ham radio, right?      ;-)
