On June 18, 2026, five members of the Potomac Valley Radio Club (PVRC) visited the new HAM shack for the USNA Amateur Radio Club, W3ADO.  The PVRC visitors included Admiral Ed Giambastiani, USN (Ret), who graduated from USNA in 1970 and was an active member of W3ADO during his time as a midshipman.  During their visit, the PVRC provided guidance and suggestions for antenna installation, grounding options, and equipment for the shack, and offered information on local amateur radio activities for the midshipmen to consider.  MIDN 2/C Daniel Conant, Vice-President of the USNA Amateur Radio Club, represented W3ADO during the shack tour.  The PVRC has a long-term relationship with W3ADO, coordinating the annual Crossband Military Exercise on Greenbury Point.
