I'm a sucker for pictures of anything out of this state. Very nice John. Connie and Jake are ? Tell Jake to keep up the karate. With enough practice, he can one day have his own school. That's what happened to my brother-in-law. A man who couldn't keep a train of thought but now runs his own school. I forget what degree of blackbelt he is. I peeked in the Cod album too having never been on the sub. I take it your group does gatherings or whatever you call them all over?

Oops, Connie is my younger sister, and Jacob, her son is my nephew of course.

The sub thing, I'm part of a team that operates an amateur radio station aboard the sub from the original radio room and using one of the original antennas on the boat. I operated first during a special event called "Submarines on the Air" in late April, and then more recently in June we had "Museum Ships on the Air", which the pictures are from. I have to remember to take my own camera there next time I'm operating and I'll be busy getting more pictures... The sub really fascinates me since my introduction to it.

"Museum Ships on the Air", don't they do that with the Mather as well? I had a buddy in school that got into that hobby. WA8NOM if memory serves me correctly

I've heard there is some work in progress to put a ham station aboard the Mather, but to my knowledge they have not yet got it on the air. You can lookup call signs at QRZ.COM and at ARRL.ORG you can also do a lookup using name, city, zip, etc.
