Museum Ships On The Air
  • wd4nzxwd4nzx May 2011
    Here is a reminder for all.  The USS Wisconsin Radio Club will be taking part in Museum Ships on the Air on the 4th and 5th of June.  We expect to be operating the entire day on the ship, from the Ward Room.  Please note that will be 10AM local to about 4:30PM local.  We hope to be operating at least 2 stations this year.  Our main station will be on 20m around 14.264 MHz while we will split the operating time on our 40m station between the CW and PHONE bands.

    As usual we will be operating both stations under the Club Call: N4WIS

    Watch here for further information as the date approaches!

    Well, Another successful operation in the can, so to speak.  Thanks to all who came out to help.  There were roughly 72 ships on the air and we talked to probably 14 of them, a more complete count will be out soon.  Special thanks to Butch, KE4AZL for hanging in there for the full two (2) days.

    We had 519 contacts in the two (2) days of operating from the Wisconsin.  Sixteen (16) of those contacts were with other Museum Ships making the USS Wisconsin (N4WIS) eligible for a 2011 certificate for Museum Ships on the Air.  Like I said before, Good Job Guys!

Howdy, Stranger!
