K5JU and myself were given the opportunity to operated from the USS Missouri while in Honolulu. It was a great experience with the high point being working my son, W5CND in Arkansas, from the Missouri. Our first HF contact and from such a great site.

The station was a TS-450S and the antenna a cage antenna on the bow of the ship 90 feet up in the air.
