Right you are, Colin! I've done many cruises, and always bring along a
radio, including SDRs at times. If you have a balcony, great. Trying to
DX from within is a wasted exercise, mostly. Too much noise within the
ship. One can try to tape a magnetic loop on a window, but it's a poor
second
Walt Salmaniw is the global cruise expert -- he'll likely chime in shortly.

When I visited the Dominican Republic many years ago the MW band was awash
in Venezuelans, I'm not sure that as many are on the air any more. Jim

to do some dxing onboard.Our room has a balcony which.might be good to dx
from.Has anyone in the group done any cruise ship dxing ? Do you have any
Thanks for the detailed report from the cruise ship, Walt!

ground in the Cook Islands while we were heaving in very rough seas north
of New Zealand. With his setup, he could escape the noise completely, and
DX some very awesome
Walt,
Thanks for your comments on cruise ship DXing. Of particular interest was your
statement: "There’s not any good way of knowing position, or predicted route.”
We go back and forth between Princess and HAL and in nearly all cases, there is
a ship-produced TV channel which displays speed
*Musings about DXing aboard a cruise ship*
Having spent a month now aboard the Holland America Line cruise ship,
the Noordam, and now 5 days out from Honolulu, I thought it might be
interesting for some to read about my experiences with DXing from a large
cruise ship on the open ocean.
