Museum Ships on the Air
June 5 @ 20:00 - June 7 @ 20:00 EDT
The 2026 Museum Ships on the Air event will once again transform the historic decks of the USS Wisconsin into a buzzing amateur radio hub as the USS Wisconsin Radio Club (N4WIS) brings maritime heritage to life by making worldwide contacts from aboard the legendary battleship at Nauticus in Norfolk, Virginia. This annual early-June celebration unites ham operators and history enthusiasts alike, offering a rare opportunity to experience vintage and modern radio operations while highlighting the enduring legacy of BB-64’s service and preservation. Engage with the hobby, talk across the airwaves, and help share the story of one of the U.S. Navy’s iconic museum ships during this unique on-the-air weekend.
