[MRCA] MRCA at NJ History Fair

[W2HX]

WOW! This sounds like a total blast! I am really excited to try to
participate this year.  I wonder though...do these frequencies pile up with
folks trying to contact these military stations? I am not big on contesting.
Or is this more laid back? This sounds like a ton of fun though.

This, combined with the Moose and Squirrel net, would be a good reason to
bring along some SSB-capable gear.  The military crossband thing would
require something with split frequency RX/TX capability, or 2 radios.
