Tomorrow I am sailing from Heysham to IoM around 14:15 and hoping to operate /mm (once given the nod by the captain) If anyone on that side of the coast is listening on 2m I will be calling CQ.
Cheers

I’m sure you know this, but it must be in writing.

Thanks for the reminder.
It always amuses me. You need permission from the captain to use your amateur radio gear but not your radio based mobile phone

When I saw the title I thought you were moving up to the higher microwave bands…
Alas, it’s Maritime Mobile you are planning.

Hi John,
I am just back from the activation of the 5 summits on IOM. If you want any info please drop me an E mail. I recommend the bar on the vessel for seats, it is quieter than the lounges.
Snaefell GD/GD001
