[MilCom] Reach 7032

[RICHARD L. KRAMER]

Hi All; Here in Reading, on Sunday, we had a record high temp of 66F. My 
former hf longwire antenna was taken out by a tree branch 3yrs ago and I was 
just using the lead in as an antenna. Earlier in the year I purchased 2 
radio shack long wire antenna kits at the Timonium, MD  hamfest for $5 
each - brand new in the bags. I put both of them out the back yard and ran 
the new lead ins to my FRG 7 and RS DX394. I didn't realize how much comms I 
was missing! I heard several CG comms on 5696 and EAM's on the Global freqs, 
but didn't log any of them. I did get to log this Reach a/c later in the 
evening.

0445z   12/28   4724 USB Reach 7032/Puerto Rico; patch to Dover Metro for 
0845z arrival. The reception was not too good for the metro operator as he 
had to ask 7032 to repeat their comms several times, but eventually finished 
the patch.
