Years ago when the Battleship New Jersey Amateur Radio Station was being formed and the former USS New Jersey was only recently towed into Camden, hams from BNJARS came to visit a DSRC meeting. They restored a half dozen antennas on the 14 story battleship, and, with modern radios, they can work the world.
The DSRC has continued to work with them on special events.
In recent years their station (NJ2BB) hosts coordination of the Museum Ships Weekend, a worldwide fun event. Ships from Russia to Missouri will participate. To learn more, visit: https://nj2bb.org/museum/index.html
