Well, we all had a very nice, and somewhat somber, day aboard the Iowa yesterday.
In my rush, I forgot my camera, but since I was inside most of the day, I really didn't get to see much.
We made about 300 contacts althought the band conditions weren't the best.
I was running my Elecraft K2 on the trussed monopole near the helipad, and the other operator was running our Kenwood TS-850S on the disc/cage antenna.
There were over 3500 paid-at-the-gate visitors, and the local radio stations bought a large number of tickets to hand out.
If anybody will be down this way, let me know, as I have a stack of "Buy One Get One" tickets which will get you and a guest in for one paid admission.
