w5bcs has supported NA5DB Battleship of Texas club. The ship is closed and have been removing a lot of equipment to do repair work. Once finished, it will end up at another port on TX coast. TX allocated $35M to it’s restoration but it will take more like $115M. Taking bids from ports
Terry Field (KM5TDF)
Passed tech test at field day this year. Wanted something with my initials. Kept the “Five” call for location.
