[MRCA] KW1I On Maritime Patrol

[grasshopper]

Dale came on at 12:00 I think.  I heard glenn, jim and dean working him but
he wasn't very strong or readable here in PA.  I was able to copy Dale and
Charlie a couple of times but seems the band was much better in the morning
and faded as the day progressed.  I did hear you and Walt early, and you
both were Q5 here.  I also heard you call Dale a couple of times in the
afternoon.

Well we listened just about every hour down here in chickenland but no joy.
Did work Al and Walt with nice sigs and had an interesting discussion with
Walt about his PRC-47. We decided that the inverter whine was not being
injected into his audio from the power supply but the actual whine after
extensive testing was found to be ambient noise. He moved away from the set
and it got weaker.  :-)

Correction, tomorrow Friday August 14 is D-Day for the Cuttyhunk Operation.
Thanks to Breck, K4CHE for catching the date error.

 

 Corrected text follows:

 

Friday August 14 Charlie and I will be plying down Buzzards Bay from
Falmouth, MA.  We will be making an amphibious landing on Cuttyhunk Island.
Cuttyhunk is the most southerly island in the chain of islands running from
Falmouth southwesterly into the Atlantic Ocean marking the eastern boundary
of Buzzards Bay.  

 

We will attempt to monitor 60m chan 3 during our approximately one hour
passage down the bay.  We expect to arrive at Cuttyhunk between 10-11 am.
If resistance is light we will advance to a high point on the island and
should have the equipment and 130 ft doublet set up by noon for the C-LRRP /
M & S Net.  We will monitor 60m chan 3 on the hour and will be able to QSY
to other HF frequencies for propagation checks.  Depending on good weather
and sea conditions our last schedule from the island will be at 4:00 pm.
Hope to monitor 60m on the way back to Falmouth arriving 5:30-6:00 pm.

 

73,

 

Dale
