    HARC, The USS Hornet Amateur Radio Club NB6GC will be on the air July 24th and 25th celebrating the 52nd anniversary of the recovery of the Apollo 11 Astronauts by the USS Hornet on July 24, 1969. We will be providing a special QSL card to all stations that work us during this weekend. We will be specifically on the air on Saturday and Sunday from 0900 to 1700 PDST. Unfortunately no visitors will be allowed in the radio room for this event due to COVID restrictions. You can get more information about our club and its events on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NB6GC, or on our QRZ page.

    Very cool special event! I was a bonafide space nerd when I was a kid. I sooo wanted to be an astronaut. What a great way to keep the history alive for those that want to remember or those that want to learn.

    Thanks for the QSO

    If we opt for the "second program," (an awesome sounding deal!) should we make out the check/mo/bc etc to Sheryl Harkleroad, the QSL manager?

    Nice looking card!

    73 & happy I got in your log!
