Battleship IOWA Amateur Radio Association (BIARA) and the Iowa’s Innovation,
Engineering and Technology Team (IET) will activate the ship’s original NEPM
Navy call sign on December 7 - 8, 2024. Hours of operation both days are
expected to be from 0700 PST (1500 UTC) to 1700 PST (0100 UTC). This
activation will be in memory of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and all the
radio amateurs and aficionados who answered the call, taking their skills
into the military and civilian war efforts.

 

ARRL requested, and received from the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), a waiver to Section 97.111(a) to allow appropriately licensed amateur
radio operators to work NEPM for this limited event. Amateurs are reminded
that they may not transmit on the military frequencies issued to NEPM.
Amateur radio operators must operate within the privileges of their
licenses. Licensees of other countries not under the FCC’s jurisdiction are
advised to refer to the regulations imposed by their licensing agencies
before calling NEPM. All phone operations are on upper sideband. Here are
the NEPM frequencies and modes:

 

Transmit Freq/Mode ... Listening Freq/Mode

*  7.469 MHz USB/J3E ... 7.261 MHz USB/J3E

*  12.382 MHz CW/A1A ... 14.061 MHz CW/A1A

*  14.667 MHz USB/J3E ... 14.261 MHz USB/J3E

*  19.160 MHz RTTY ... 21.150 MHz RTTY

*  21.856 MHz USB/J3E ... 21.361 USB/J3E

 

The listening frequencies are a starting point. The operator will tell you
where NEPM is listening to minimize causing interference to stations in
band. For an NEPM QSL please follow the instructions found on the
