We’ll be activating Patriots Point Maritime Museum this weekend.
On Saturday the USS Yorktown will be operating as WA4USN.
On Sunday we’ll be alternating between USS Clamagore/NJ4DU and USS Laffey/NT4HI, and operating MK1 PBR #105 as WA4USN from the club trailer at the Vietnam exhibit.
More information on MSW at https://nj2bb.org/museum/index.html.
You did not give us any frequencies to look for you on.
I would like to make contact with museum ships and write it up
in the WQ6X Contest Blog
The Museum Ships web site offers starting frequencies, but due to the nature of HF you go where you need to. As a rule ships operate in the general class section of the bands, and focus on 20m and 40m SSB.
When I was there Sunday 40m was dead and we spent most of the day on 14.310MHz.
If you would like to set up a schedule, we can try to work something out.
Tom,
I would like to join you for field day in June 26 and/or June 27 2021 if you are doing the weekend.
Thanks

Bill – the signup is open at the volunteering page. See you there.
Can you please update the status of QSL Cards for MSW 2021 for a QSO with PBR 105 MK1?
I get the cards monthly at club meetings. First batch is out, second is on my desk. I’ll check on yours when I’m in the shack. PBR-105 turned out to be pretty popular as a new entrant; thanks for your support.
