[Hallicrafters] OT Any Iowa Class Battleships On Saturday?

[jbrannig at optonline.net]

Duane,
14.260 and 7.260 are two frequencies listed for the museum ships weekend.  I think you will have to tune around.
NJ2BB the USS New Jersey is scheduled to be on the air
The DX spotting nets will the best source of current information.
 
I'm running some errands in Philly and will try to get to the Jersey sometime Saturday or work them from Long Island on Sunday.
