Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Crossband Special Event

 From Lee Barrett

December 7 this Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. The Battleship Alabama

would like to invite you to participate in the first “Pearl Harbor remembrance

Day” Crossband Special Event, hosted by The BB-60 ARC. This event is to

commemorate the surprise and unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor by the

Japanese Empire on December 7th, 1941. The event will take place on December 6th, 7th and 8th.

 We have been assigned the military frequencies

7.463 MHz and 14.761.5 MHz (both on USB). That's the frequencies where you will listen

for us calling CQ. To work the Battleship you will operate split, listening on

our military frequency and transmitting on the ham band. We will tell you to

what frequency on the ham band we are listening. We have been authorized

to use the Alabama's original WWII radio callsign - NEMW. Operation will

begin as soon as we get setup on Friday, December 6th, hopefully around

noon. The purpose of this Special Event is to emphasize the importance for

us to remember that "Day That Will Live in Infamy", lest it ever happen

again.
