HR2.0: Episode 170 - Pearl Harbor Tribute from the USS Batfish - WW2SUB

I was privileged to be invited to the Pearl Harbor Tribute event this year on December 7 for Pearl Harbor Day. We operated HF on 20-meters and 40-meters and had some student operators who were able to get on the band and make some good contacts.

I was able to work some HF myself also, which was quite fun. I was reminded of working DX in Costa Rica on a few trips I have taken to that country, and also realized how much I miss being on the HF bands.

A special thanks to Jerry and Paul for allowing me to record this event, it was a great tribute to fallen naval personnel during WWII on various submarines.
