In April my sister-in-law is
crossing the Atlantic aboard a container-ship,
from the UK to Montreal. She's taking a portable sw receiver, and I'll be arming her with schedules and guides. Does anyone know about, or have experience of, radio reception at sea? I assume short wave and medium wave will be little different from listening on land, and listening in the bowels of an iron ship might be similar to listening in an apartment block built of iron girders, albeit on the move? Will there be a point, mid-Atlantic, where European and American medium wave signals are likely to be of similar strength, depending on day/night paths? The whole idea of radio and DXing at sea is a new one to me and I am intrigued as to what might be expected. I am also tempted to stowaway; a week at sea with little to do but listen to the radio sounds as good as it gets!
