While on vacation in Charleston, SC, I saw that they have an aircraft carrier museum ship, the USS Yorktown. It was very close to where we are staying. After activating the SS American Victory for Museum Ships weekend I checked to see if the Yorktown had an amateur radio station.
The Charleston Amateur Radio Club runs their club station onboard the USS Yorktown. I emailed the club and they got back to me that they would open the station. Thanks to Rick N8BKN and Tom AJ4UQ for their time and hospitality.
Propagation was in an out but I managed a few contacts, one to a guy whose dad served on the Yorktown. It was a unique experience and I’m glad I reached out to organize it.
