Battleship Iowa WILL Be On Satellite for Field Day 2014
OK, everybody, we have approval to overnight and operate Field Day from the Battleship Iowa!
I'll be operating as NI6BB from the aft deck using the same gear I've used for the K6AA FD operations I've done in the past.
We're in DM03ur, and I will personally QSL 100% to all operators I work, so here's a chance to not only get DM03, but also a nice NI6BB card.
I'll be setting up my sat station in the back yard in the next week or two to make sure everything works, so DM03 will be activated then, too.
73, and hope to work many of you on Field Day!
73, Jim KQ6EA
Great
How about 2015?

I worked NI6BB from the USS Iowa this past Monday on 17m CW while driving back from Tulsa. Great signal, they were using a WW2 groundplane antenna. Would love to get them on the sats as well.

That was Tom, W6KP, our premiere CW operator.
Well, if you can wait until Field Day, you'll stand a very good chance!
The last time I operated from the Iowa was for JOTA three years ago. When FO-29 came over the horizon and I called CQ, it sounded like 20 Meters on a contest weekend.
