[Elecraft] Cruise Operation

[Jim Allen]

I would think it has more to do with inconvenience and liability to other passengers, tripping over wires, getting zapped, setting off pacemakers, messing with shipboard nav, shorting out the generators leaving the ship dark, cold, the swimming pool unheated and ice makers impotent.

And, God forbid, if anything serious happened at sea, all the PR folks back at HQ need is some PITA eyewitness on the radio ruining a good story.

> Holland America’s policy is sort of intriguing. It seems they don’t have a basic problem with operating, so long as you don’t obstruct things, but it also seems they are concerned about operating privileges in various countries. In other words, does the operator have the necessary reciprocal permissions under CEPT or otherwise. If that’s the case, I sort of see their point as it could be problematic for the ship. However, it also seems that one could provide the necessary documentation to show permission. I suppose that could be just too complicated for them to deal with.
