I have visited 3 BBs so far BB55,BB62 and BB64 I plan on visiting the Iowa sometime this year and maybe Missouri next year. My question is I would love to be able to listen in on the historic broadcast using the original call sign when you go OTA,is it possible that I could listen in on http://www.livehams.com? If so could you tell me how I could using this Site? Sorry I'm new to the ham radio scene and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work your doing with one of the most amazing ships! <br /><br />PS hope this appears ok as I'm using my cell phone to leave this reply.Phil Brooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-63063899299153991062017-04-20T13:39:02.534-07:002017-04-20T13:39:02.534-07:00I didn't have anything to do with it, except b...I didn't have anything to do with it, except being a member of the group that sheparded it through.<br /><br />The whole thing was kept under wraps by the guys doing it, as they didn't have any idea if it could be done, and didn't want to raise any expectations.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-83630622225869794562017-04-20T07:10:03.117-07:002017-04-20T07:10:03.117-07:00That's quite an accomplishment.
