In October Crosstalk, I said would send reminder. Here is the reminder.
Watch your favorite spotting cluster for NEPM or battleship Iowa
references. And remember, do not transmit on the military frequency. Only
listen there. Split your radio to transmit on the ham band frequency where
they Iowa is saying they are listening. Good luck everyone who tries!
Copied from October Crosstalk page 11:
In memory of Pearl Harbor day this year, the Battleship Iowa Amateur Radio
Association has received permission for a special cross-band activation,
using the active duty callsign “NEPM” for the Battleship Iowa. They will
be transmitting outside the ham band (e.g. 14.375 Mhz) from 1500-2400 UTC
both days, with the operator advising listeners as to where they are
listening for replies from within the ham bands. Special QSL cards will be
available to anyone succeeding in making a confirmed 2-way contact. More
details available at https://biara.org/.
