Ships wishing to participate should send a note to museum62@nj2bb.org with the name of ship, callsign, location, qsl info and contact info for person responsible.

As every year we do expect the participation of naval ships, lightships, steamships, research vessel and merchant ships. Several German MF Runde museum ships have already accepted to register their participation at NJ2BB. Among them are the freighter "CAP SAN DIEGO" (DLØMFH), the tug boat "Seefalke" (DKØSN), the submarine "U995" (DLØDMB), the missile corvette "Hans Beimler" (DLØMFN) as well as the Naval Airship Museum station OZØMF and/or 5PØMF from OZ.

All stations that work at least 15 different ships of those participating will receive a certificate if they send a copy of their log entries showing these contacts. Working the same ship on different frequencies DOES NOT count as 2 ships. Certificate is 8.5 X 11". Please either send $3.00 to cover costs or send a large enough envelope with enough postage. Certificates should not be folded.

Send certificate requests to:
Margaret Burgess, KB2BRR
150 Schooner Ave
Barnegat, NJ 08005
USA

All certificate requests must be received by September 30^th, 2024.

It may take a while to get certificates mailed as we have to wait for the logs from the ships to come in.

A list of participating ships is permanently available on the website of USS "NEW JERSEY" - pse see: http://www.nj2bb.org
