Battleship Iowa Amateur Radio Association Gets A New Flag
Actually, it's our first flag, and the members donated the funds.
Yay guys! Even though I'm 1100 miles away, I still take part by helping electronically when I can.
It cost a few $$ to get a really well-made one. Now that the Radio Room (FACCON1) is staffed a lot of times, and the tour people are frequently getting asked if it's open, flying the flag signals to all concerned that the Radio Room has staff available to do special "off route" tours.
The Iowa's been called "The Most Accessible" of the four Iowa-class museum ships, and we try our best to offer as much one-on-one with staff and visitors as we can.
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sir!
