Just logged K4DSR onboard the USS Drum on 14.041 for Museum Ships Weekend. SS-228 is on dry land at the Mobile, Alabama, Battleship Memorial Park sitting at the top of Mobile Bay right next to BB-60 USS Alabama.

Look at this cute octodrummer...

Wow, was a great day on #20m today! Managed to get a whole mess of #POTA parks, and this weekend is also Museum Ships Weekend! Managed to bag 4 ships today, and I'm going to try for some more tomorrow. I ended up getting the USS Hogo, Tall Ship Elissa, SS American Victory, and the LST-393. Was quite a fun day!

We are now installed aboard the Icebreaker St. Erik, in the center of #Stockholm. The antenna and rig are working, we are ready for #museumshipsweekend that starts in a few hours.

We expect hams and non-ham turists to visit the station during the museum's open hours tomorrow but we will be on-the-air also when the museum is closed to the public, until Sunday morning.

Callsign 8S0HRA. SSB, CW and possibly also FT8.

Picture is from the exibition onboard.

Poster from the exibition on the history of the Icebreaker. Photos on the Icebreaker in operation and on members of the crew from sometime during the first half of the 20th century. Text in Swedish and English, probably too small to read, explaining the history.

@unicycle it wasnt much different on the ship side sometimes. We found out Saturday morning that we had no power for some reason after they moved the ship in dry dock, so we literally slung an extension cord off the lights on the gang plank and worked pota style off the deck. Today, still no power, but we hung a dipole and had a better setup, until the pressure washers started that were so loud you couldnt hear yourself think...

Uss Midway, the elusive grail...we WILL get you!
