AMSAT will be supporting the 'Ham Radio Day Aboard the Queen Mary', an on-air event which will include satellite operations from the RMS Queen Mary, on Saturday, 14 December 2019. The Queen Mary is at the Port of Long Beach in California, grid DM03vs.

The satellite operations will take place from the Queen Mary's Sports Deck, next to the W6RO Wireless Room. Visitors are welcome, and hams with a copy of their valid amateur license can board the ship for free on 14 December - a $40 value!

In addition, we will have the following special activities:

• Static displays of the Queen Mary?s vintage maritime radio equipment.

• On-air demonstrations of ham radio 'go-kits' at locations around the ship.

• Demonstrations of 'eclectic communications gear', including an Aldis lamp and semaphore flags.

• Demonstrations of satellite ham radio, with actual contacts being made through satellites in orbit.

QSL cards will be available from the Associated Radio Amateurs of Long Beach (ARALB), using the process detailed at http://www.qrz.com/db/W6RO

Satellite contacts do not require the QSO number mentioned on this page. W6RO does not use Logbook of the World.
