[MRCA] Remote operating

[Al Klase]

Robert,

There are all kinds of possibilities, once you go to the net.

Some of the MRCA guys in the Kutztown, Pa. area run a Sunday night net 
on 51.0, and were threatening to set up a rig on EchoLink.  I don't know 
if it actually happend.

Then, a week or so ago, it was suggested that we might hook our 
fieldphones to a local telephone line or maybe Skype, and dial into a 
conference call bridge, achieving world-wide connectivity wit EE-8's and 
TA-312's.  I have a 1918 fieldphone in an oak box that I'll dust off if 
that ever happens.

For the moment, I'm trying to achieve PRC-77 to GRC-213 (PRC-104) 
retransmit, to be used at the upcoming Gilbert meet.  This could allow 
non-attending folks to participate.
