Last night, I was tuning around on 40m and ran across an interesting QSO. XE1C/MM was talking with another station and explaining that /MM was for Maritime Mobile. I instantly thought that was a cool concept. He was telling the other guy that by checking his QRZ page, he could see his operating conditions aboard the ship as well as pictures of the ship. I checked out the QRZ page myself. To my surprise, the ship he was operating from was the Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas! Being a huge cruise fan, I was even more interested and very hopeful to work him. He was using an Icom IC7300 into a double bazooka antenna that hangs above the top deck and transmitting from somewhere between St. Maarten and Florida!
He worked a couple people, switching between English and Spanish. Unfortunately, I was not able to catch a QSO with him. I hope to run across him again sometime and get him in the log. I hope the XE1C/MM ship has not sailed without me! hi hi
