Have been looking forward to Museum Ships weekend for several years now, each year a disappointment for me...but this year would be better!!! Heard nothing from the USS Stewart or USS Cavallia on 10 - 20- 40 meters all day Saturday or Sunday. Bought a new Icom 7300 last week "just for the event". Hoisted my also new Alpha- Delta DX-EE and my 10 meter Moxon 30 feet in the air...but nothing from Galveston.... I live in Richmond...maybe I'm too far away for HF from Galveston??. I did hear a little faint but soon lost USS Lexington and USS New Jersey Saturday morning on 20 Meters but being a Tech I couldn't contact them....*darn*! Saturday around 2 P.M. tried the Ships Net 147.14 did it happen?? I couldn't hear anything there either. Well maybe next year. I did order today a 10-20-40 long-wire drop my other antennas, thinking I can start it on my 30 foot push-up mast 2 feet off the edge of my roof and go out from there getting it away from the building. I have heard 2 good BVARC friends that uses a long-wire for their HF...maybe they knows something. I did hate missing out on the fun at Museum Ships weekend again! . 73 All! Gayle KF5LVZ
