Operating in Canada

[jflash]

My family and I are going on a cruise on Thursday to Canada. I already
have permission from the captain for operating on board. Is there
anything else important that I need to know? Any help would be
appreciated. BTW, I am taking (this is all I have anyway) my Vertex
VX-150 2M HT, a hand-mic, and possibly a homemade roll-up J;Pole antennae.

From the ARRL website:

When a US amateur operates in Canada, simply bring your FCC license,
proof of your US citizenship (a birth certificate or other proof) and
identify as call / Canadian identifier, like N1KB/VE3. At least once
during the communication, you must state your geographical location,
like "30 km north of Toronto."

Thanks! I've read some in the ARRL Operating Manual, but this is exactly
what I needed. Thanks again! BTW, do you know if a passport would serve
as proof of citizenship?

Your passport will show your citizenship. You should never leave the
US without a passport. I carry mine even in the US if I travel.

That's what I thought. Thanks!
