[MRCA] Moose & Squirrel QSY

[Ray Fantini]

That sounds like the best reason to QSY! I was almost ready to check in this last Saturday but still have not put together a working antenna for 60 meters. Used my 40 meter dipole but the question I have is that I was hearing net control and one or two other stations strong but not many of the others, is this common? Or is it just that my technique sucks?

I've had a couple of questions regarding the reason for the change of the primary net frequency.  The rationale is to get onto an even KHz carrier frequency so radios like unmodified PRC-47's and PRC-74's can be used.  (Yes, I know you can easily pull a PRC-74 500 Hz, IF you have perfect pitch.)  Dennis points out the only thing that held this change back.  The average ricebox needs to be modified to tune the new 60-meter freq recently approved by the FCC.
