QST QST QST… To All Radio Amateurs –

Museum Ships Weekend starts in just 7 DAYS!   Our next big operating event will be MSW on board the USS Lucid!  John NZ6Q is coordinating operating aboard the USS Lucid. If you like ships and are an amateur radio operator, or you just want to get on the air as the “Rare DX” we will be one of just over 100 ships on the air for the annual Museum Ships Weekend event. This is not a contest, but a fun event that feels a lot like a contest.
