[MRCA] Field Day Operations

[B Smith]

I will be operating under K4CHE this year . . . 
primary mission is to have fun, secondary mission 
is to
do some additional testing of the AS-2259 antenna 
by rapidly switching back and forth between 
doublets and the
AS-2259 system during the Field Day event.  An 
additional mission will be to try out a couple of 
military sets.
 Conditions on 40 and 80 meter have really been 
bad recently especially  during the day I have 
noticed that conditions on
the 7 Mcs range  on the USAF MARS frequency have 
been  very marginal.

With the large number of stations operating it 
will be interesting to
compare antennas with the AS-2259 NVIS system. I 
will be running 1A in the low power category 5 
watts
 and on battery and solar power.  Please if you 
work me take a moment to say hello and bring it to 
my
 attention that you are a member of this list.
