[Milsurplus] Re: Field Day Report

[John J Mccarty]

At w9dup we tried to get our natural power contacts with my an/grc-9. Had a
flock of folk to crank away at the generator and some really good CW ops to man
the key. Afer three hours of cranking (and are my arms tired) we were only able
to muster up two contacts on 40. Best guess is that we could not spot the grc-9
close enough to the other stations who have their filters "screwed down to the
wood" to battle qrm.
