[Milsurplus] Saturday April 20th Fort Miles opps

Ray,

Propagation was poor for the noon Moose and Squirrel Net. Net controller Pete, WB2JUW, was weak here in New Jersey.

I did hear you call during the net. You were quite strong 5 by 7. I did call you when Pete asked for additional check-ins but no joy.

Intend to be on RTTY Net at 0900 local but will not be active until around 0915 or so being they have their flag raising at 0900 and will be operating RTTY from the field again for the first time this year. Around 1000 local will QSY over to 7296 (USB) for the regular MMRCG Net and hopefully we will not have the interference issue, both intentional and unintentional that have been plaguing that net. Last Saturday there was a +20 signal on 7298 that was cutting in and out with no modulation at random times. Thought it may be one of the marron’s that’s been complaining about us having a net there but noticed after the net was well over it was still popping up? and last but not least will try the M&S Net on 5357 (USB)at noon.

> The Delaware Goes to War event centers primarily on WW2, so much so that along with some of the other newer military vehicle people who show up we are relegated to a parking lot next to the show. The WW2 reenactors are serious about contaminating there show with anything that’s not WW2 although the site itself has a full history of use as a radio, troposcater and later SOSUS station from the close of WW2 until the early nineties but that’s how it goes with a lot of these WW2 only groups.
