Museum Ships Weekend – MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club will be holding their annual Museum Ships Weekend event Friday June 3rd (7 pm) through Sunday the 5th (7 pm) at Seawolf Park and at/on the USS Stewart (destroyer escort) and the USS Cavalla (submarine). Museum Ships Weekend, MSW, is an annual amateur radio in which ham radio operators operate retired maritime vessels, both military and commercial, from all over the world, to enable the amateur community, at large, the opportunity to contact these historic museum entities and receive written confirmation of the contact. Maritime museums, maritime memorials, historic aircraft, and other appropriate entities also participate. Many, if not most of the ships participating in MSW have an active and ongoing relationship with an amateur radio club or group.
