  Amateur Radio Operations onboard the USS Carl Vinson ( CVN-70 )

From November 9th to November 14th, 1996, K6DF operated from the USS Carl Vinson while at sea in the Pacific Ocean. Operating as: "K6DF U.S. Navy Maritime Mobile Region 2", approximately 95 QSO's were made. Many of the amateur stations contacted did not know that they were talking to the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier. The name and type of ship, location, speed, and course could not be given out over the radio as the ship was still conducting flight operations.
