The "NorthWest Signal Corps" proudly presents the First Annual:

MILITARY RADIO FIELD DAY AND DISPLAY

Who?    A loosely affiliated group of Ham Radio operators determined on
             preserving the equipment and the finer points of military
communications and
             gear!

What?    An "in the field" set-up outing of military radios and
assorted/associated gear.

Why?     A good excuse to set-up, operate and display millitary radio gear
from the last
              60+ years! Besides, you can come up and take part in a well
developed ARRL
              Field Day site. Two-for-one! 4th annaul for them and it is
alot of fun too!

Where?    4H Camp in West Salem, Oregon. At the Gazeebo site, just a short
walk
                from the MidValley Field Day site (Horse camp). The camp is
gorgeous and
                there is lots of room to hike around in.

When?    Saturday and Sunday, 22nd and 23rd of June 2002. Folks will be
getting
               there and setting up from Friday the 21st at Noon. The
Shindig will mostly
               be Saturday the 22nd with an "All you can keep down" buffet
Saturday evening.

How?     Get in your car, on your motorcycle or bike, in your good combat
boots or
               flap your arms real hard and come on up! The map is attached!
Follow the signs
               to the ARRL Field Day then look for signs for the Military
Radio Display.

You are welcome to camp overnight Friday night the 21st and/or Saturday
night the 22nd.
The Gazeebo site offers cover, toilet, kitchenette, 120 VAC and various
pests. There is a
fire pit, so bring wood and S'mores fixins. Bring uniforms, sleeping bags,
cots, etc. There
will be minimal room for RVs at the actual site so please check with me
ahead of time.
There will be ample parking down the hill from the site for cars.

Some of the fine gear to see and use will (hopefully) include: GRC-106,
PRC-6, PRC-10,
PRC-25, PRC-47, PRC-74, PRC-77, PRT-4/PRR-9, TRC-75, Field Phones, Remote
Equipment, Teletypes, Mine Detectors, Uniforms and accessories, and many
many more
cool, strange, bizzare and unexpected Greenthings.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime festivity that you will be very sad you missed
if you don't come up!
Well, it may not be that great, but it will be fun. Tell, invite or drag
family and friends along!

Talk-in will be 51MHz FM, 150Hz tone. We will also monitor the 145.29 MHz
repeater if
we have to! RTTY ClatterNet will be Saturday morning at about 09:30 PST on
10.137 USB
850 Hz MARK 1575 Hz (Mark Low) SPACE 2425 Hz  (AKA Military shift and mode)
This mode and frequency will be monitored all day, so give us a call if you
can't attend! There
will also be the option of AM and SSB phone (Frequencies TBA)  and there
will likely be a
code key available for the brave-of-heart.
