Welcome you to the K1USN Radio Club's home page.
For updated information come back again soon. The tower is going up,
and the equipment is going in.
The K1USN Radio Club, a none profit group of radio hobbyists, is affiliated with
the
Braintree Radio Club and has set up an Amateur Radio Station at the Watson
Library
and Research Center, pictured above, located at 85 Quincy Avenue, Braintree, Ma.
02184.
The club will demonstrate the Amateur Radio Hobby to local school children and
will
provide historical displays of radio apparatus used by early HAM radio operators
and Navy shipboard operators.
One Saturday a month members of the club will conduct Amateur Radio licensing
exams.
Please join us in this important endeavor. We will operate K1USN and be heard on
the airways
again. We will plan fun events both related to HAM radio and not involving HAM
radio.
K1USN is located at the site of the Fore River Ship and Engine Company which
was started and owned by Thomas Watson who built ships during the late 1800's
and early 1900's.
A couple of notable ships built at this site were the USS St. Lawrence DD-8
(Launched 1900) shown below
and the lightship Diamond Shoals (Launched 1900)below.
In 1901, the site was moved down the river and became the Fore
River Shipyard which no longer exists.
The call sign K 1 'United States Navy' is appropriate because at this site many
early Navy destroyers and cruisers were built.
