Established June 10, 2000, one of the stated purposes of the club is set forth in our constitution: "to install and operate... a licensed amateur radio station aboard the battleship USS Wisconsin or at Nauticus Maritime Center... to publicize the presence of the great warship in our historic seaport."
We enjoyed a warm welcome from Nauticus National Maritime Center and held our first special event operation starting on Pearl Harbor Day, 2000, when the USS Wisconsin arrived at her new home in Norfolk.
The club will activate the club call, N4WIS, for Museum Ships on the Air and other special events as they occur.
