Hi Ron,
Thanks for the info. I have contacted USS Yorktown in the past for Field Day. Excellent experience. Lots of work to make the contact but well worth it.
No HF equipment yet but may be able to listen in over the internet.

Operations aboard ships
Posted: February 22, 2015, 7:45 am
by amateur operator
On Monday, February 23, I have been invited to operate the amateur radio station, WA4USN, aboard the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown. The museum ship is moored at Patriot's Point near Charleston, SC. I should be on 20 and 40 metres after 1300. I hope to do some ssb and cw operation on 20 metres.
I have also been invited to operate aboard the battleship USS North Carolina on March 1. The call is NI4BK and the station will have several operators for the North Carolina QSO Party. The station should be on the air after 1000.
