I asked for permission to operate VHF from the Queen of the North one time
during our Alaska travels. I was not told just no but "H**L NO" from the
captain. Good Luck :>) By the way, I did ask very politely.

You also need to have an International Amateur Radio Permit. You get it

I found myself in Vancouver on Field Day weekend and received a warm

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. :-)
An IARP is not required for operation by US amateurs in Canada--there is
a reciprocal operating agreement which allows operation without any
paperwork. The IARP is good for LU, PY, YS, HP, OA, 9Y, CX and YV,
however.
When operating from a ship in international waters, it is necessary to
have a license or other operating permission (CEPT, IARP, reciprocal
license, etc.) from the country in which the ship is registered, in
addition to permission of the captain.
