[ARRL-OK] Reminder of Special Event - Museum Ships Weekend 2012

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Remember this weekend 2-3 May is the "Museum Ships 
Weekend" for 2012. 
 
In addition to the operations shown in the message 
I forwareded earlier in May, an operation is planned 
by the USS Batfish/USS Oklahoma Radio Club over at 
Muskogee. 
 
I think there might also be an operation associated 
with the Texas Maritime Museum which maintains the 
"Elissa" sailing cargo ship at Galveston, TX.
 
This is an annual nationwide (maybe worldwide) event 
and can be very enjoyable. It is not a contest.

The following info may be of interest. 
Mark your calendars for it. Museum Ship 
events are an interesting sideline to 
the amateur radio hobby!
