The following participated onboard the ships this past Sunday.

Jon Noxon was ill, though was there in spirit.
We erected a dual band UHF/VHF on the USS Stewart and further investigated the
transmission line in the sail of the USS Cavalla. Just as we were to erect
Jon's loop antenna and begin on the wire antenna replacement on the Cavalla, a
severe thunderstorm bore down on us and we abandoned the ships.
Thanks to Michael for the stainless cable clamps, Keith for the cooler of water
and Kelli for risking life and limb in the Cavalla sail. Thanks to all who were
there and pitched in, all were a great help.
As it stands, we'll have two HF stations (and a 2m rig) on the USS Stewart and
one HF station in the picnic area (for the Selma). The antennas currently
available will be the loop antenna and the Stewart's original wire antenna, as
well as Mike's portable tower and two (soon to be three) element beam for the
Selma. There is still the possibility we'll get the wire antenna going on the
Cavalla and also have a hex beam for use in the picnic area.
If you haven't already signed up for operating during the weekend Fri- Sun June
2,3,4 please email me.I'll be sending on a current list of
attendees/operators/volunteers within the next few days.
