[MRCA] [Bulk] Moose & Squirrel

[Garret Scott]

Here are a few photos of our deployment here in Tennessee.  We braved the
cold drizzle and headed up to about 3,400 ft. on a mountain NE of Oak Ridge,
TN.  

 

I got the big antenna up too late to participate in the M&S net, after being
delayed at a checkpoint where I did not have my papers in order. 

 

However, we did hear several stations on the net right at 1200, and for
about an hour afterwards, then had a few good QSO's afterwards on AM 7,295
KHz . So we had fun and it was good experience no matter what!

Couple pictures of the Fort Miles operation this weekend. I used the
AN/PRC-108 USCG Sunair portable SSB transceiver along with the push up mast
with inverted V antenna. Solid copy on most stations and always surprised on
how well the little 20 watt radio gets out, don't know why but find it
interesting that stations in PA and NY always come in stronger and hear me
better then net control over in NJ just across the bay? Maybe if I used
smaller vertical antenna would have more success with close in stations but
like being able to hear and be heard by all in the net.

The Fort Milles facility is a nice visit being able to see the old buildings
and a lot of the costal artillery that they have gathered there. There are
well over a dozen guns on display including their massive twelve inch gun
along with many of its components and a section of eighteen inch armor plate
with a hole blown thru it by what I assume was a twelve inch round. Would be
interested in going back during one of their open houses and seeing the
insides of the bunkers and what if anything has been done in the form of C&C
and plotting for that installation.
