2008 CERTIFICATE INFORMATION
You must work at least 15 different participating ships

All stations that work at least 15 different ships of those participating (listed below) will receive a certificate if they send a copy of their log entries showing these contacts. Working the same ship on different frequencies DOES NOT count as 2 ships.

Certificate is 8.5 X 11. Please either send $3.00 to cover costs with new postal rate increases. Certificates should not be folded. It may take awhile to get certificates mailed as we have to wait for the logs from the ships to come in.

All certificate requests must be received by September 30, 2008.

Send certificate requests to: Margaret Burgess, KB2BRR
                                          150 Schooner Ave
                                           Barnegat, NJ 08005
                                           USA

NOTE: There are no certificates issued for making a contact with just NJ2BB. Please only send a request for certificate if you have worked at least 15 different ships.


We would like to thank the MARINEFUNKER-RUNDE e.v

Here is the list of paticipants so far for 2008 Museum Ship Event - 55 SHIPS
We will add ships to the list as they notify us of their participation. (updated 13 May 2008)

Note: If anyone knows of any ships that want to participate please have them contact us so we can add them to the list.
Also please send us corrections.   

Ships wishing to participate should send a note to museum@nj2bb.org  with the name of ship, callsign, location, qsl info and contact info for person responsible.

A special Life Time Listing has been granted to K1USN
as the orignators of the Museum Ships On the Air event.

K1USN is now located at the original site of the
Fore River Ship and Engine Company
which was started and owned by Thomas Watson who built ships
during the late 1800's and early 1900's. This is now
the Watson Museum and Research Library

The call sign K 1 'United States Navy' is appropriate because
at this site many early Navy destroyers and cruisers were built.

QSL information can be found here for these ships

While operation on any amateur frequency is allowed,
most ships will be operating in the General portion of the bands

SSB

CW

3,860 KHz     3,539 KHz
7,260 KHz 7,039 KHz
10,109 KHz
14,260 KHz 14,039 KHz
18,160 KHz 18,079 KHz
21,360 KHz 21,039 KHz
24,960 KHz 24,899 KHz
28,360 KHz 28,039 KHz
50,160 KHz 50,109 KHz

EVENT PSK 31 OPERATIONS
14.070 MHz      10.142 MHz      18.100 MHz      21.070 MHz      28.120 MHz

Some ships will also be on 3880 KHz - 3885 KHz and 7290 KHz Amplitude Modulation with either their ships original equipment or modern equipment.

While any operating mode can be used in this event and CW and SSB are the dominant modes, we are encouraging all the particpating ships, that have the ability, to fire up their original equipment on

3885 KHz, 3600 & 3625 (in the UK),
3705 (W. Europe),
7290 KHz and 14.286 KHz in the AM mode.
