USS Missouri Battleship Radio Room
Discone Antenna Threatened! The ship’s original discone antenna (see red box above), the primary antenna we use for HF communication, is in need of substantial repairs. Work will be done by Missouri staff and volunteer labor to reduce costs, but in addition we have agreed to spearhead a fundraising campaign to raise $45,000 over the next several months for necessary supplies and professional assistance. Contributions are welcome in any amount, and are fully tax-deductible. Details are at www.ussmissouri.org/kh6bb |
The radio room on the USS Missouri Battleship is now being operated by the Battleship Missouri Amateur Radio Club.
