Battleship IOWA To Remember Pearl Harbor

The Battleship Iowa Amateur Radio Association's NI6BB will be on the air from 1600 UTC until 2359 UTC on Wednesday, December 7th in memory of the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

The ship's circa 1980's legacy gear will be manned by the Gray Radio Gang on 40 meter SSB from approximately 1800 UTC until 2300 UTC. Operations are planned to be on 7241 KHz and as the transmitters are on deck 3 and the receivers are on the main deck, QSYing to tweek you in is nearly impossible.

Please ensure you are on frequency before you call as we cannot easily track you
Understand that there will be a delay between transmit and receive due to the receiver recovery
time.

The main BIARA team will man both our SSB and CW stations using amateur radio transceivers on 20 through 10 meters commensurate with conditions.

Expected frequencies are:

SSB = 14341, 18141, 21441, 24941 and /or 28441 KHz.

CW = 14041, 18078, 21041, 24896, and /or 28041 KHz.

Expect QSY information on the packet cluster.
