Re: [BVARC] Museum Ships Weekend
Gayle, The bands were not kind on HF, but we were there. We also had some antenna and radio problems early. Down there we had a hard time picking up the TEXAS, but did. I heard the Lexington, but they had a pileup working. The net took place and the Elissa, Texas, Cavalla and Stuart were there. The cool thing about Museum Ships is that ANY band is fair game as it is NOT a contest. 17 meters opened up and was a good place to spend a couple of hours. I was on 10 meters for a while, but it was dead until almost 5PM when it opened to YV Land (Venezuela). Hopefully the sun will cooperate more during Field Day. We will have a GOTA station set up on Field Day and ALL Techs will have an opportunity to operate on 10, 15, 20 and 40. We get bonus points if you make 20 QSOs while operating GOTA, so I will be looking for YOU! We will also have a 2 meter station looking for contacts on SIMPLEX FM and possibly SSB as well. So you will have lots of opportunities to get your feet wet. 73 ...

Heard nothing from the USS Stewart or USS Cavallia on 10 - 20- 40 meters all day Saturday or Sunday. Bought a new Icom 7300 last week "just for the event". Hoisted my also new Alpha- Delta DX-EE and my 10 meter Moxon 30 feet in the air...but nothing from Galveston I live in Richmond...maybe I'm too far away for HF from Galveston??. I did hear a little faint but soon lost USS Lexington and USS New Jersey Saturday morning on 20 Meters but being a Tech I couldn't contact themdarn! Saturday around 2 P.M. tried the Ships Net 147.14 did it happen?? I couldn't hear anything there either. Well maybe next year. I did order today a 10-20-40 long-wire drop my other antennas, thinking I can start it on my 30 foot push-up mast 2 feet off the edge of my roof and go out from there getting it away from the building. I have heard 2 good BVARC friends that uses a long-wire for their HF...maybe they knows something. I did hate missing out on the fun at Museum Ships weekend again! . 73 All!

Re: [BVARC] Museum Ships Weekend
Hi Gayle: My name is Leslie, ad5wb.I was on site with the Elissa. I am sorry you could not hear us.Conditions this year were marginal to say the least.We often went 15 minutes between successful contacts.] Saturday we were on 40, 20 and 17 phone; and 20 cw.We tried 10 meter phone as well.Yes the 2 pm net took place but Richmond is a long way for the repeater in Texas City.Sunday: even with all the storms we were on 20 phone, 20 cw and took shots at 10 and 17 phone.All said we only had a little over 400 unique contacts when we shut down Sunday afternoon. It was not the best of showings for us! 73Leslie From: Gayle Dotts via BVARC To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Cc: Gayle Dotts Sent: Sunday, June 4, 2017 9:26 PM Subject: [BVARC] Museum Ships Weekend Have been looking forward to Museum Ships weekend for several years now, each year a disappointment for me...but this year would be better!!!
