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: https://www.ecwid.com/store/store10195853/RFinder-Android-Radio-M1DU-432mhz-... It's really a cell phone, not a ham radio, right? ;-)

Hey Jerry,
Have you considered shipping just the necessary equipmentahead of you to some location you'll be at in Great Britain? My daughter recently shipped many thousands of dollars of makeup to a show she worked. Just had her shipment held for her at the shipping center and she had no problems picking it up. Of course, an overseas shipment in another thing.
An alternative is buying or borrowing the necessary equipment while over there. If you buy it, you can just ship it back when you return to the States.
Just some 'wild' ideas.
