[GCARC] Museum Ships? Try something else fun with radio this weekend!

[Jim n2gxj]

Starting 8pm Friday on HF is what they call "museum ships weekend" on the
air.
With 100 stations signed up to participate, the line up is amazing!
You have a chance to make on-air contacts with
8 different battleships (including our own, the Battleship New Jersey!)
8 destroyers
2 destroyer escorts
4 different aircraft carriers
22 different submarines
4 cruisers
4 mine sweepers
2 passenger ships, including the RMS Queen Mary!
3 ice breakers
2 LST's
1 civil war ironclad gunboat
1 FDR's presidential yacht
1 SS Hope hospital ship
and more!
You can QSL any of the museum ships you make contact with to get a nice
collector card for your contact.
And here's a bonus.  if you can pull off making contacts with at least 15
ships from the official list of 100 at https://www.nj2bb.org/museum/ , you
are eligible to apply for a special certificate for your accomplishment.
Details at that web site.
Wow!
How often do you get a chance to try and get a qsl card for a contact with
a civil war ironclad gunboat, an aircraft carrier, or a battleship?
What fun!
