Thanks Walt. I *guess* that is okay. Gilligan, the Skipper and the
Professor had a HF radio on the "Minnow" and look what that did for
them!

Thought that I?d mention the radio situation on-board our ship, the
Amsterdam. Last night, I noted the door to the radio room (with a
?restricted, no entry? sign on the door) slightly ajar, so I stuck my
head in and said hello. The radio officer, is not really a radio officer
at all, but an IT specialist. This explains his puzzled look when I
asked whether or not they still had HF radio on board. The answer is NO!
Not even as a back-up. Everything?s satellite (and he showed me the rack
of satellite equipment). Otherwise, there?s VHF on the bridge, but
nothing else?and this is on a vessel specifically designed and launched
in 2000 for deep sea voyages (including around the world cruises). Sad,
indeed! ??.Walt (one day out of Honolulu).
