Hello fellow radio ops,

?

Having left Belize (V3) yesterday (31/1) we had a sea day today as we headed north to Progresso, Mexico where we arrive tomorrow (2/2).

Today we worked into the UK, Poland, France and Italy on 12mtrs CW and Norway and Holland 12m SSB. As well as numerous in the USA in both modes on 10m,12m and 17m.

We seem to have a path on 12m into UK & Europe around 1600 to 1700 GMT.

Colin (G0UJK) heard me during this time, as I tried to break-in to a QSO between Mark M0JCF and a US stn.

Tomorrow (2/2) we hope to go cycling in the morning and get on the air in the afternoon around 1900hrs.

?

The following day we have another sea-day as we head towards Galveston Texas.

Please note this sea-day will be the last operating day as we have been told to remove our antenna whilst in US jurisdiction and will only be allowed to re-establish the antenna after leaving Miami our last US port on 11^th Feb.

?

This is due to the presence of US Homeland Security personnel on board who are set to examine this British registered ship with a fine toothed comb. This also includes stopping any of the ship’s crew going ashore (even to assist the less than able passengers down the gang-way) in the three US ports to prevent them absconding. To stopping the use of freshly made yogurt, as all milk products have to be in single use cartons as well as banning buffet service as all food must be delivered to the point of consumption by serving personnel…………I will not make any further comment!

?

The end result is that the memsahib and I will be off the air from about 2200 hrs on ??Monday 3^rd Feb until 2300hrs on Tuesday 11^th Feb.

?

So we hope catch you on the wireless on 3^rd Feb before our enforced shut down.
