If things go as planned, we may have a table set up on board the Battleship USS Texas at the San Jacinto Battleground State Park in La Porte on Saturday Dec. 8. This annual event attracts hundreds of families and can provide an excellent opportunity for us to interact with the public and demonstrate WW II era radios and electronics. HAM station NA5DV may also be on hand transmitting from the HAM shack down on the second deck. That is always a popular spot where visitors stop and learn about HAM radio. In the ship’s post office nearby, Bill Werzner will be dressed as a sailor operating a telegraph sending the kids’ letters to the North Pole via telegraph. If you’re looking for something to do come on over for a tour and bring the family. The third deck and engine room should also be reopened for tours by then.
