[Elecraft] Cruise Lines

[David Wilcox]

You might want to consider this when you plan your next cruise.  There are some cruise lines that permit ham radio when approved ahead of time.  I have read many blog posts about the fun that can be had.

Each cruise line has their own private island and a few years ago while lying in a hammock on one of them I had a Sony radio and was listening around the ham bands.  I was so surprised with the activity on most of the ham bands and so wished I had a xmtr with me.  I would say a KX 2 and the new Elecraft AX 1 antenna might be a blast even now and I doubt there would be any problem from anyone.  They are all having fun or watching their kids on the beach.
