HISTORY ON THE USS HORNET
ANCHOR/STEPHEN: The Ladies of the Net Radio Club, KM6CIR, have a big day
scheduled aboard a historic World War II ship. Amateur Radio Newsline's
Jim Damron, N8TMW, has the details.
JIM: A lot of history has sailed aboard the USS Hornet Museum Ship, which
now makes Alameda, California its permanent home. The Naval aircraft
carrier, formerly the USS Kearsage, was known in more recent decades for
recovering the Apollo 11 astronauts following their return to Earth after
the first moon landing mission in 1969.
On Saturday, February 18th, the Ladies of the Net Radio Club, KM6CIR, will
get closer to the ship's renowned history when they begin operating from
the on-board radio station NB6GC beginning at 1900 UTC. The club, an
informal net that meets weekday mornings on 40 meters, is based in Union
City, California.
The World War II ship, which was decommissioned in 1970, has been a public
museum since 1998, and it became home to the US Hornet Amateur Radio Club
in 2002.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Damron, N8TMW.
