[MRCA] RT-70 progress

[Al Klase]

Hi Gene,

I don't think you'll have any trouble with the PRC-25 and 
long antenna.  The PRC-77 worked well from Big Pocono, 
probably better than the HF rigs.  I don't really know what 
I was talking to in Gilbert, but it was a hand-carried thing 
with modes antenna.

I have some more circuit tracing to do, most likely in the 6VDC source for the PTT relays, found in the AM-65 PS/amp.

I will be bringing my PRC-25 along with the AT-271 fishing pole antenna, AB-591/PRC-25 rubber base and the AB-1135/PRC ground mount base.  Can someone tell me if this antenna system will be adequate for use at either end of the Fieldex?
