MORE INFO

Word has just been received from Rene at Shipcom LLC that KLB will be on the air for night of nights on 8582.5 and MF (488kc and 500kc A2!). WLO will also participate on the same frequencies as last year (4343.0, 8658.0, 12992.0 and 16968.5kc) but may not have 2Mc (2055.5kc). They will listen on ITU HF channel 3 in all bands for calls. See our Web site (http://www.radiomar ine,org) for details on the calling channels.

Check out the Shipcom Web site for information about all the services they provide. It was Rene and the staff at WLO that stood tall in the finest traditions of the sewrvice during and after hurricane Katrina, handling comms when the USCG site was damaged.

The Radio Department at SS AMERICAN VICTORY/KKUI has advised that they will be on the air as well. They didn't specify a frequency but they usually call KSM on 12552.0kc so that would be a good channel to monitor.

The folks at KKUI have done wonderful work on the ship in general and the radio room in particular. See their Web site at:
