Is there anything interesting to listen to while at sea in the Carribbean? (in English?) Sure, lots of things to hear. Anything on some of the islands? Should I bother? NO! You are paying for a cruise so enjoy the many things on the boat and on shore instead of holing up in a room or on a deck chair with a radio. I don't know. Radio and the sea have gone together since the early days of radio, and there is a certain mystique to it. Marconi went to Nova Scotia to span the Atlantic in December of 1901. Radio was there for the Titanic, even if it didn't help much. People would run away to sea to be radio operators on ships. Nevermind all those amateur radio DXpeditions in the fifties and sixties to exotic places that often used ships to get there, because that was the only means. Hence if someone already has an interest in radio, it's pretty logical that they'd want to take a radio along. They don't have to use it, but if they leave it at home, they'll never have a chance. It may be their only chance to experience what it's like to be in the middle of the ocean with a radio. Michael |
