[Elecraft] Alaska - Cruise

[Craig Rairdin]

You also need to have an International Amateur Radio Permit. You get it from
the ARRL. Make sure you allow plenty of time to receive it. They get snippy
if you ask for it in less than two or three weeks. It costs a few dollars to
cover postage. You have to send a picture, like for a passport. It's all
spelled out at http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/io/iarp-app.pdf

I found myself in Vancouver on Field Day weekend and received a warm welcome
from the local hams when I showed up at midnight Saturday. Unfortunately
there wasn't a key or paddle in sight, but I did work some 40M phone. Nobody
asked for my IARP. :-)

As it turns out, I am currently studying for my Extra. 
1) The US and Canada have an agreement that allows amateurs in each country
to operate in the other country using only their own amateur license. The
Operator must give his/her call sign appended with the letter/number
combination indicating location.(ARRL Extra class License Manual 8th edition
page 1-11)
2)Shipboard Operations require the approval of the Ship's master and be
separate and independent of the ship's radio apparatus (part 97.11)

Hope this helps - Sounds like a fun time is in the works!!
73s,
Pete
