Amateur radio enthusiasts are participating in "Warship Weekend," attempting to contact museum ships and submarines globally. The USS Orleck, a Gearing-class destroyer launched in 1945 and formerly sold to Turkey, is currently stationed as a museum ship in Lake Charles, Louisiana. High-powered "big gun" radio operators often dominate the frequencies, making it difficult for low-power QRP operators to earn contact badges.
Lake Charles Surveillance, Bar Camera Ordinance

The proposal follows a violent attack on an off-duty deputy and aims to increase public safety in establishments where alcohol sales exceed 50% of revenue. The trend is compared to the high density of CCTV cameras found in the United Kingdom.
