    "content": "\nBob et all,\n \nIt might be a good idea to consult with the most current FCC regulations.\nThe sticker here is that almost all cruise lines are foreign flagged, and thus\na foreign country. In the past, FCC regulations stated that US hams could\noperate on US flagged ships on the high seas, with the captain's permission.\nHowever, there are several treaties, the US is a signatory to, making it much\neasier for hams to operate outside their home countries.\n \nTo make a long story short, any vessel on the high seas is the country whose\nflag it flies, thus comes under the regulation of that particular country.\nCase in point, a US private yacht whose master (a US citizen obtained a foreign \nham license i.e. Mexico, needs a visitors US ham license and call, in order to operate \non the high seas (international waters). He also needs permission from himself, \nbeing the captain of a US flagged vessel, to do so.\n \nThe way I see it, if you operate from a Norwegian flagged cruise liner, you would\nneed a Norwegian ham call and the captain's permission to operate on the high seas.\nNow, as soon as you enter French Polynesian waters, you need to deal with the French.\nThe French will gladly give you a guest license, based on your American FCC license.\nBut then you cannot operate from the Norwegian flagged ship. You can sit in a cafe in\nTahiti and talk on your hand held to your heart's contend, but don't try it from the cruise\nship. The exception here would be if you hold both, a US and a Norwegian ham license,\nThen the French will issue you a guest license based on your Norwegian license.\nComplicated, you bet. Best is to apply for a guest license before you go on the cruise.\n \nOne more caution. In some countries it is illegal to possess radio equipment that is capable\nto transmit or receive on frequencies outside their alloted ham frequencies. Australia is\nvery strict in enforcing that restriction. Don't get caught with a ham radio modified for\nMARS use. That is a no no and can earn you a hefty fine. \n \n73,\nPeter, NH6VB\n \n \n> Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 10:25:52 -0800\n> From: [email protected]\n> To: [email protected]\n> CC: [email protected]; [email protected]\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Ham Radios on Cruises\n> \n> On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 9:57 AM, Bob Bruninga <[email protected]> wrote:\n> \n> > NO, this is exactly the info we need.
