    Battleship Iowa Special Event to Commemorate Pearl Harbor Attack

12/01/2016

Members of the Battleship /Iowa/ Amateur Radio Association (*BIARA* 
<http://biara.org/>) will mark the 75th anniversary of the 1941 attack 
on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Wednesday, December 7, 1600-2359 UTC, 
operating shipboard from the /Iowa/ as NI6BB.

The primary BIARA team will staff SSB and CW stations on 20 through 10 
meters, commensurate with conditions. Suggested frequencies are 14.041, 
18.078, 21.041, 24.896, and/or 28.041 MHz on CW, and 14.341, 18.141, 
21.441, 24.941, and/or 28.441 MHz on SSB.

The “gray radio gang” will operate the ship’s c1980s radio gear on 40 
meters, SSB, 1800-2300 UTC, on 7.241 MHz. The transmitters are on Deck 
3, and the receivers are on the Main Deck, so stations should ensure 
they are on frequency before call in. There will be a delay between 
transmit and receive, due to the receiver recovery time.

QSL information is on the *NI6BB QRZ.com profile*
