[MRCA] Southern version of Moose and Squirrel

[Garret Scott]

I'm interested!  Being even further South, in Tennessee, I would welcome an additional net.

I often can hear the net on 60m here, however I've only once been successful in checking in, and that was from a 100w pseudo military rig (Micom XR).  Last Saturday here in Texas, it was completely hopeless, but higher bands were pretty good.

I may be on the air Saturday, 19 DEC, from somewhere in the TX or NM area, operating the PRC-320, in case anyone wants to try the longer ranges.
