Operating two stations aboard Battleship NORTH CAORLINA, the Azalea Coast Amateur Radio Club will participate in the annual Museum Ships Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8, 2008. Sponsored by the Battleship NEW JERSEY Amateur Radio Club, 63 museum ships world wide will have HAM radio operators aboard ready to receive contacts from HAM operators.

The Azalea Coast Amateur Radio Club will have two modern stations operating through the ship's original cabling and antennas on 40 and 20 meter SSB (voice communications). There is also a potential for CW operation (Morse code) on 40 or 20 meters using the ship's original TDM-4 and TDE transmitters and RBC receivers. If you contact the Battleship NORTH CAROLINA, QSL with a SASE to P.O. Box 4044, Wilmington, NC 28405.

For HAM operators working at least 15 different ships, you are eligible for a certificate from the NEW JERSEY club. Send a copy of your log entries showing your contacts plus $3 to cover shipping prior to September 30, 2008 to Margaret Burgess, KB2BRR/150 Schooner Ave./Barnegat, NJ 08005.
