The USS LST 325 is now docked in Pittsburgh (Sept. 1 to 6)
This LST (Landing Ship, Tank) is an amphibious vessel designed to land battle-ready tanks, troops and supplies directly onto enemy shores. Ships of this type proved to be enormously useful during times of war and peace both. This particular LST was originally known as LST-325 during the Second World War, USNS LST-325 during its arctic operations in the 1950's, and later L-144 (A/G Syros) while it was in the service of the Greek Navy. It was acquired by The USS LST Ship Memorial, Inc., in 2000, and caught considerable public attention when our veteran crew brought it on a 6,500-mile journey from the Greek island of Crete to Mobile, Alabama.

North Hills Amateur Radio Club's 2 meter D-Star repeater is alive and well and "on the air"!
The new repeater is operating on 146.82MHz with the callsign W3EXW C. It shares the same site (WQED-TV in Oakland), the same antenna, the same feed line, and the same controller as W3EXW B on 444.35MHz. While it shares a lot with our UHF D-Star repeater, it is a separate repeater. More info to follow...
