Tnx  Breck, for the alert. We will have NWVC (USS LST325) on 4007, 6913,  
13974
with USB & CW. (also a 12M channel that will be useless). We'll  use two
stations. GE TCK for CW and modern gear for USB. (this ship's  period did 
not
have SSB). An NWVC pix QSL is available for those sending  theirs.
Hope to hear some of you....
