One thing Stan neglected to mention is that he donated his K2.
Thank you Stan and 73.

For those with interest:
The museum ship USS SLATER in Albany, NY is the very last of 563
destroyer escorts built during World War II that remains afloat in
America. It's been restored to 1945 condition and represents a real
piece of history.
For years, the amateur station has limped along with 30 year old
technology.
Today, WW2DEM is on-the-air with its new "All-American-made" 100 watt
fully optioned K2. Many thanks to Dale Putnam WC7S who built up the
K2/100 plus options for only the cost of shipping, to Tony Baleno who
built and donated a beautiful ZN-9 paddle and to Ken WB2ART who provided
attractive bezel personalization.
The ship is on the air most Saturdays (daytime) on 7062 CW; 7262 SSB or
14062 CW; 14262 SSB
Only the ship's vintage maritime antennas are used. They consist of 70
and 80 foot wire verticals and a 100' long wire plus a 190' long wire
that runs towards the fantail and then back up to the main mast.
Matching is easily accomplished with the KAT2.
There is a QRZ page entry for WW2DEM with QSL info, etc.
73, Stan WB2LQF
