I am organizing the Battleship TEXAS Amateur Radio Station for operation on Museum Ships Week End from 1900 (7pm) June 5, 2015 to 1859 (6:59pm) June 7, 2015. I have spoken to Andy Smith who is the TEXAS Ship Manager about Museum Ships Week End. He told me some of the items we have to do to operate on the ship. Also I spoke to Kandace Trujillo TPWD's Overnight Education Program director. There will be an Overnight Progam with Cub Scouts on Saturday Evening. We will be able to overnight. The first thing is that TPWD needs to know who is going to show up and be able to vet everyone. So please provide me the following information: Name, Call, TX drivers license number, Address, contact phone number, I will forward that information to the ship. Also let me know if you are planning on staying on the ship overnight Saturday night. Or if you wish to just operate Saturday or Sunday 10am to 5pm. For example: Mike Brannan, KA5OXA, TX203xxxxxx, 26xxx Greenxxxx, Katy, TX 77494 The 40/15m ship vertical is available from the BTARS ham shack on Deck 2 port side in the General Store Keepers office at Frame 100 next to the canteen. There is a coax coming out of the floor next to the hull which connects to that antenna. We are planning to hang an OCF dipole between the outside flag hoists on the foremast and main mast. We may be able to hang a multi-band vertical from the aft flag hoist. Plan to help rig antennas on Saturday morning and run coax. Then late Sunday, de-rig the antennas, coax and stations. We have the band pass filters so we could operate multiple transmitters. You will need headphones and a splitter if you plan to have a logger. Keep a log using GMT and send a copy to me for entry in the NA5DV log and submission to the Battleship New Jersey for a certificate. The main point is to contact as many museum ships as possible. Any ship or operator who contacts more than 15 ships will get a certificate. The website for information and rules is _www.nj2bb.org_ (http://www.nj2bb.org/) . The ship operating frequencies are listed there. SSB, CW and PSK31 will be used. Thanks and get me your information as soon as possible. I will try to build a schedule which fits your availability. If you have questions about MSWE, please email me. Mike Brannan KA5OXA [email protected] 281-782-3046 cell
