[Swprograms] A wee bit OT: St. Helena

[Joe Buch <josephbuch@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just received an advert for the cruise ship Queen Mary 2.  St. Helena is shown as a port call as part of an around-the-world cruise.  The ship departs Capetown, SA on March 25, 2010 headed for Rio, Barbados, and the USA.  

This is near the end of a 101 day itinerary that will begin in New York City on January 4, 2010.  So by March 25, the ship should have some vacant cabins given the number of passengers and the actuarial tables pertaining to the age group that would normally book such cruises. You can probably board in Capetown on a space-available basis.  If you want to sail from New York, you can enjoy the Queen's Suites for only $83,790.

So if you are still owed a QSL card from Radio St. Helena or just want to hear Radio St. Helena on ground wave, this would be a truly luxurious way to do it.  You might even get in the Guiness Record Book as having spent the most money to collect a QSL card.

Or possibly the NASWA SWL Fest Meisters might want to hold the 2010 convention aboard ship.  The timing is about right.  The only problem is that it would have to be retitled to be the Fall SWL Fest as it would be in the southern hemisphere.
