Museum Ships Weekend

image_pdfimage_print

MUSEUM SHIPS WEEKEND IS ON
 FOR JUNE 3 – 5 

Museum Ships Weekend is back for 2022 and we are planning to be aboard the USS Lucid again. We will be operating from 0000Z June 4th (5:00 PM June 3rd) until Sunday June 5th – shutting down at 1200 noon. 

Sponsored by the Battleship New Jersey Amateur Radio Station NJ2BB, MSW is a great operating event especially for new hams with little HF radio experience. It’s a great chance to be “the hunted DX station” and improve your listening and operating skills. Radio operation will be from a variety of vintage and noteworthy vessels. This is not a competition – it is an event.


All stations are encouraged to QSL the USS Lucid and we get a lot of QSL request that we typically answer during the July club meeting. There will be certificates awarded this year!

 Some ships also may be found on 75 meters (3.880 – 3.885 MHz) and on 40 meters (7.290 MHz) using AM, some using the vessel’s original restored equipment. Information Courtesy of W6SF

Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.
A Letter To Mrs. Lydia Bixby, Boston Massachusetts

Dear Madam,–

I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln 16th President Of The United States
