[amsat-bb] Battleship Iowa WILL Be On Satellite for Field Day 2014

[Jim Jerzycke]

That was Tom, W6KP, our premiere CW operator.

Well, if you can wait until Field Day, you'll stand a very good chance!

The last time I operated from the Iowa was for JOTA three years ago. 
When FO-29 came over the horizon and I called CQ, it sounded like 20 
Meters on a contest weekend.

73, Jim
