I had to work this morning, then run out of town after that, so I've had very little radio time today. I did snag a few of them today (Ticonderoga, Nautilus, Savannah, and Lucid) to add to the few I got last night. I have to mow my yard when I get home from town, so I'm missing out. |

I just got in to the battleship New Jersey, NJ2BB. He was calling QRZ and nobody was coming back to him. I jumped in and he came right back to me. This was on 20 meters.
I was 57 into NJ, and he was 59 into northern IL. Very cool! |

Went back on last night after watching a movie and grabbed the USS Lucid, in Stockton CA! My first time hitting CA, and with only 100w and an OCFD antenna.
I also got a station in Calgary, AB, and another in Beaverton, OR (neither were part of the Museum Ships event) so the propagation gods were smiling upon me last night.

Noise is VERY high for me here at this time. I did manage to get the Seehund (German 2-man mini-sub from WW2) on 14.260 but we could barely copy each other. The station is only 38 miles from me so not great for HF.

I would have loved to get the USS Nautilus. I was actually on it when I was in CT. I went on the tour and got to see it on the inside.
Amazing how cramped it is inside. Tight quarters indeed. |

Tight quarters indeed. I tried to reach them a bunch of times both Saturday and Sunday and just couldn't get through. Groton is just under 80 miles from my QTH as the crow flies, so I am not sure if it was just the wrong distance for HF or what. I toured the base when I was a kid, and the sub we were allowed to tour was a diesel powered one from Denmark or Sweden, I forget. |

USS North Carolina's original CW still works and they allegedly fire it up from time to time.
One of the clubs members was telling me a story about they were using it one time and someone started to fuss them out about their drift until they sorted out who it was. Also, where's @piccolo ? Did he work a fire mission again? |
