U.S.S. Salem (Retired) - K1USN

The USS Salem Radio Club will activate K1USN on Veterans' Day, Thursday, November 11, with operation from the museum ship berthed in the Fore River in Quincy, Massachusetts. A special event QSL card has been created borrowing the design of the official 2004 Veterans Day poster. K1USN will be active on most Amateur Radio bands on CW and phone, and packet spots would be appreciated. The USS Salem, a heavy cruiser commissioned in 1949, will be open to the public. K1USN will QSL all requests received. US stations should include an SASE with their QSLs to Harold "Pi" Pugh. K1RV, 78 Temple St, Abington, MA 02351 DX stations QSL via the W1 QSL Bureau.
