Operating on a cruise ship ...

[JHRichards]

Interesting thread - although I would NEVER take a ham radio on an
expensive, romantic, cruise ship and I can only imagine what my young
bride would think and do as she strolled about the ship, alone, whilst I
remained in our stateroom trying to drop an wire out the porthole so I
could call the guys back home on my radio!

My advice is to relax and enjoy the cruise, leave the rig at home and
commune (nicate) with YOUR lovely bride, instead!  I predict you will
love longer, and be much happier that way!

Um ... ahem ... that is just MY take, anyway.     ;-)

Interesting response.  I do agree (same XYL for the last 46 years).  When I got back in to ham radio I also took on a wife at the same time. I built an HW 7 “to have by the bed side to listen to code and get my speed up”.  My fellow club members had a riot with that comment..... so the HW 7 stayed in the extra bed room in our mobile home..... I still get the eye roll from her when I have a new victory in my radio room but we’re still together and this old NERD still can fix anything that breaks and also debug her iPad and iPhone.  So she does see some benefit to my hobby...... she even bought me a KX 3 when they first came out.

FWIW

Likewise, I don't operate my mobile rigs when my XYL is in the car. 28
happy years.
