[MRCA] 75-Meter Crystal Control

[B. Smith]

    I think we should move the whole kit and caboodle (nets,field exercises 
etc.)as soon as possible to 3680 and establish a beachhead. It makes no 
sense to beat our heads against the wall on 3885. Its so easy to upgrade a 
license now------- so upgrading  is not a factor.

| Guys,

| "It seems to me that we should move to either the recently rearranged
| Extra or Advanced phone bands, 3600-3699 or 3700-3799 respectively.
| | So we need to discuss this:
|
| How many of us are not Extra or Advanced class amateurs?  It seems to me
| we could, if nothing else, send an Extra with each team, use his call,
| and be completely legit.
|
| This would have little impact on the frequency-agile rigs.  All we have
| to do is pick a frequency of the day and try it.  It's the
| crystal-controlled rigs that present the problem.  Just as a standard
| BC-611 frequency established the calling frequency, I'm leaning toward
| other BC-611 freq's:
|
| 3640 (4095 RX xtal)   Extra
| 3680 (4135)               Extra
| 3720 (4175)               Advanced
| 3760 (4215)               Advanced
