[MRCA] Patrol Reception KA3TIN and KB3SBC

[B. Smith]

Excellent conditions today, worked KA3TIN S2 to S4 the entire  time , he 
was on horz antenna and my understanding is part of it was in the air 
and the other half was over a cliff?    and also worked Walt KB3SBC on 
his tripod antenna Walt at first was barely readable and then came up to 
S1 and then could copy him steady , could copy TIN even on low power.
N3FRQ had a good signal and came in around 11:40.

We were using an RF-301 and a 200 foot horz loop.





Tried  for 20 minutes between 11:15 and 11:30 to find KG3SBC on APRS and 
then realized later I had the wrong
call sign.    duhhh     :-)

Guess I will have to drag out my APRS stuff and take it on my next 
expedition , an ole GE mobile  with the receiver removed  and a APRS 
encoder stuffed in its place .    cheep
