Thank you to all of you who took the time to send me information on the 
ships operating for D Day. Most were on, or near, 7.260 and 14.260 MHZ.

I did work the USS Wisconsin on 20 meters, which surprised me. I only heard 
one ship on, or near, 7.260! I did work her, but barely. A lot of QSB and 
QRM was nose hair deep!

I also heard a CP1 out of Boliva just before I signed off at 1912 UTC. My 
record low signal report of 3/4! Hey! He heard me, we had a brief QSO 
despite the QSB and he said he will verify the contact. So that was cool and 
a great way to wrap up my D Day quest for some of the surviving WW2 ships.

Thanks again!

I hope to hear some of you tomorrow for the Sunday HHI 20 meter Net at 1715 
UTC on/about 14.293 MHZ usb.
