The Glynn Amateur Radio Association will run a special event station on Saturday, 14 December 2019, from 0800-1700EST to commemorate Brunswick Georgia's Shipyard's efforts during WWII. This shipyard built 99 Liberty ships at a rate of four a month. We wish to especially highlight a special accomplishment from this shipyard that happened in December 1944. Although this shipyard was producing four a month, there was a special order for six for this particular month. The workers actually guaranteed, and built, seven--and didn't want to be paid for the extra time to meet this challenge, not even for the hours they worked on Christmas day.
We will be operating as K4B for this event, and you will find us on 20 and 40 meter SSB and CW with occasional PSK. We will be operating in the shadows of the shipyard where these Liberty ships were built.
