You're probably too far from Eglin, so you think maybe it's from MacDill?

If it is a 10 second rev rate then it is a radar aircraft (the one with the
HUGE pancake dome on the top) operating way off shore. The aircraft is the
E2C or variant. If it is an 8 second rev period, then it is a ship's SPS-40
radar. Neither one is supposed to operate on the 430 MHz band within
Can we nail down all the cruise ships that prohibit it and those that allow

Not really. The cruise line I used prohibits it - on their Web site. But our
group asked and was allowed free reign with our gear.

On our last cruise (in 2008) I just took my HT and Arrow with me, called
the Purser and asked to speak with the Radio Officer for permission to
operate. I believe it was the next day that I spoke with them and
described what I was using
NO, this is exactly the info we need. The entry would be:

That is a LOT more info than NO listing at all.

Bob,
I believe that you will find the corporate answer to ham radio
equipment aboard a ship is no. All lines, standard disclaimer. That
being said, the ships Master (Captain) can grant use of the equipment
on his/her ship during the cruise.
In other words, if you ask corporate offices the will tell
There is a chance - a chance, mind you - that my ship may drop down into
DM02 tonight. This is a rare grid square for those looking to work all
488 grids in the Lower 48 states. If we get there, the most likely
passes that I'll be on will be AO7 (if it's in Mode B) and VO52.
AO7 - 02/0317Z
I have asked the controllers to give me feedback

AMATEUR RADIO ON CRUISE LINES
Very few - if any - cruise lines will publicly state that amateur radio gear is
welcome on passenger cruises. As we researched the sites of over 60 lines, most
actually state that amateur radio gear is prohibited on board.
But exceptions are made daily on many
I just do not see the point of a list of cruise lines. Exceptions are made

as prohibited. But
Hi Kevin,
I forgot to say that a transponder like that of FO-29 is made inverting in
order to partially compensate and reduce the total doppler effect on the ground
due for the uplink and the downlink frequencies because both dopplers subtracts
each other into the transponder mixers during

This illustrates precisely my earlier point: Some people can socially

It might be a good idea to consult with the most current FCC regulations.
The sticker here is that almost all cruise lines are foreign flagged, and thus
a foreign country. In the past, FCC regulations stated that US hams could

for any deviation, and we will not be able to dip into DM02. It was

OK - I'll ask. Why is this satellite not named, AMSAT-Foxtrot?
It was about 1956 that the U.S. military did away with Fox in lieu of
Foxtrot for its phonetic alphabet. Even the English army did away with
Foxover 50 years ago.
The ITU and militaries cite the sixth letter of the phonetic
