USS Turner Joy Amateur Radio Club
Museum Ship Weekend, June 4-6, 2010
The Museum Ship Weekend was a considerable success for those who attended. Eleven contacts were made towards the event, including:
- » USS Lexington - Corpus Christi, TX
- » USS Stewart - Galveston, TX
- » SS Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial - Whitefish Point, MI
- » USS LCI(L)-1091 - Eureka, CA
- » RMS Queen Mary - Long Beach, CA
- » USS Cavalla - Galveston, TX
- » USS Pampanito - San Francisco, CA
- » USS Batfish - Muskogee, OK
Participants included:
- » Robert Meyers - KA7UMR
- » Jeff Meyers - KA6ZMU
- » Sean Meyers - KE6LMF
- » Pete Lillie - W7JY
- » Rick Bailor - W7UN
- » Steve Boerner - KC7CYP
While we didn't make our goals, much was learned. One original antenna was set up and used to make a contact (USS Batfish) and one other was started. Otherwise, plans were made for future operations, including formation of the club itself.
