Veterans Day is Wednesday, November 11, and several clubs and museum ships will be on the air to honor those who served. Listen for W4JDD from the USS Orleck (1400-2100 UTC, certificate available), W4V from Tampa on 14.265 MHz, W2B from the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia, on 14.262 MHz, and NI6BB from the Battleship Iowa.

NI6IW on the USS Midway follows on Saturday, November 14. It’s a great week to work a piece of history and thank a veteran on the air. Note that ARRL headquarters is closed on the 11th, so there are no W1AW bulletins or code practice that day.
