MRCG SEVENTH ANNUAL MEET
------------------------------------
The seventh annual meeting of the Military Radio Collectors Group (MRCG) will 
be hosted by the Fort MacArthur Military Museum, San Pedro, CA, on Friday and 
Saturday, 3 and 4 May 2002.   This year’s event  will be designated as  the 
KD6KWH  Memorial Meeting in memory of the late Henry Engstrom. San Pedro is 
located on the south side of Los Angeles adjacent to the Los Angeles Harbor.  
The Museum is situated in Angles Gate Park near the ocean at Pt. Fermin. For 
driving instructions, maps and information on the Museum and the surrounding 
area please see the web sites listed below. 

The theme of this year’s meeting will be equipment operation, and to this end 
participants are encouraged to set up working displays and demonstrations.  
Friday will be devoted to equipment setup and display, operating events, and 
informal get-togethers on the Museum grounds.  Special activities will 
include heliograph and signal light demonstrations and six meter fox hunts.  
One or more formal technical presentations may also be scheduled for this 
day.  Saturday morning 0600 - 1000 has been set aside for those wishing to 
trade and sell parts and equipment and a BBQ lunch will be served 1100 - 1200.

For Saturday afternoon we plan to mount a field exercise involving a 
multi-mode base station at Ft. MacArthur, several outstations at selected 
locations in the surrounding area, remote participants (Bay area, etc.) and 
roving “tactical" teams of 2 or more participants.
