Lightship RELIEF Event July 16-17

[Lisa Jones-2]

Museum Ships from around the world invite any and all Hams, especially
Elecraft users to get on the air July 16-17 to work stations operating
from onboard over 100 restored museum ships in the US and around the
world. Some of these ships like the Lightship RELIEF and Jeramiah
O'Brien are operational and some are stationary. Work all the ships you
can and get a special commemorative QSL card from many of them. Museum
Ships Weekend Radio event starts July 16 at 0000GMT and ends 2400GMT
July 17. In the San Francisco Bay Area there are at least six ships that
will be operating, including the USS Red Oak Victory, Lightship RELIEF,
USS Potomac, USS Hornet (CVA), Jerimiah O'Brien, USS Pampanito
(submarine) among others. You may even work some of them using their
original radio transmitters. Mark you calendars and join in the fun.
KG6ECI (W6R) operating early evening to early AM from the Lightship
RELIEF will be operating 40 and 20 meters using an Elecraft K2 from the
original ship's radioroom and antennas. See you there...

Look also for the USS Kidd, DD-661, a 1943 Fletcher class destroyer, from
Baton Rouge LA during the Museum Ships Special Event. Callsign will be
W5KID.

Since there are overnight groups on the ship Friday and Saturday we'll be
able to stay on board from 0001Z 16 July straight through until about
1900Z 17 July, or from Friday 7pm CDT until Sunday 4 pm CDT.  

Lots of 20 meter SSB operation near 14250 or so, and plan to do as much
CW and QRP as possible. Jupiter for the QRO rig, and K2, K1 and maybe
even KX1 for QRP.

Will post information later in the week about how to look us up on the
APRS internet server to find updates on operating schedule.
