We will be using the ships call, N6MSO.

Please bring your own headset and keys. It will most likely be warm in Stockton, so dress accordingly. If you have a folding chair, it would be a good idea to bring it, although there will be many chairs and tables on the ship. Also, if you are planning on staying for the dinner, you should bring a lightweight windbreaker, as the wind can come up and blow down the river from the west.

Museum ships weekend actually starts, Friday at 5pm local time. There will be people on the ship then and early Saturday morning, so if you would like to come early on Saturday, please do. http://www.nj2bb.org/museum/

There will be a catered prime rib dinner, on the ship, at 6:30. The cost is $15/person, and payable "at the door". To help them plan, please sign up at; http://www.w6sf.org/eventsignup.html It will give you the option to prepay or pay at the door.

I thank the Stockton Amateur Radio Club and the USS Lucid volunteer crew for allowing us to participate with the Museum Ships Weekend I hope to see many of you on board the Lucid.

Reach Out to Girls at Local STEM Events

Wouldn't you enjoy sharing your passion for amateur radio with girls who are curious about the fascinating world of communications and electronics? Girls of all ages love hands-on activities and the opportunity to experience contacts over amateur radio, and you can provide the learning experiences that can lead to an amateur radio license of their own and to fulfilling careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
