[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Vintage & Military Radio Field Day?

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

Well, gents, first of all it depends on the equipment, secondly on the skill of 
the operators, and thirdly, there is the fact that this Field Day proved that 
there were far fewer signals than any other FD I have ever been in on. 

QRM was NOT a problem.

I think you are may be right in general, but wrong in specific. We'll see.

I fired up the AN/GRC-109 last night and intend to do some serious 
operating to see how difficult it will be to use it in a FD situation.

More later.
