nm5k Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Wonder if they ever finished all the work they were gonna do on that thing. I was thinking it was semi drydocked for rust repair, but haven't kept up with it.. I once spent the night on that thing. We ran a ham radiospecial events station on that in the early to mid 80's.. We set up our station in the CIC as I recall. They stillhad the old radar sets in that room back then. We worked most all bands, and even had a 1200 watt ampset up. it was winter, and I almost froze to death on that thing at night.. The metal conducts cold big time..During the day, I had pretty much the run of the ship, and got to check out most everything worth looking at,except for the closed off sections. The radio room was closed at that time. I hear it's been restored now,and has some ham gear set up I think. It was a hoot.. Wouldn't mind doing it again some day.
