[MRCA] MRCA Mini Meet

[Ray Fantini]

Sorry I won’t be there, got the M151 in a thousand parts right now and will be in Gettysburg PA on that weekend.  May take backpack radio an antenna and try M&S Net from that location but don’t know if I can work that in schedule.
Sounds like it will be a great show.

Gang,

The MRCA 2016 Summer Mini Meet is scheduled for 22-23 July at the Infoage Science History Center<http://infoage.org/wp/> in Wall Township, NJ.  This is the site of Marconi's 1914 Trans-Atlantic receiver station that became the U.S. Army Evans Signal Laboratory in 1941.

This event coincides with the New Jersey Antique Radio Club's Summer Swap Meet<http://www.njarc.org/images/NJARC%20Swapmeet%20Summer%202016.pdf> being held in cooperation with the Ocean Monmouth Amateur Radio Club.

How can I participate?

1) Just visiting:  Attend the Sawp Meet as a buyer, 8AM - Noon and/or visit the Museums 1 - 5 PM. - Just show up!

2) Vendor at the Swap Meet:  $30 per generous space.  Please register with the folks on the NJARC flyer<http://www.njarc.org/images/NJARC%20Swapmeet%20Summer%202016.pdf>.

3) Set up an outdoor radio display,  Saturday 1 - 5 PM.

4) Arrive on Friday, and sleep over.   Best to aim for early PM arrival, as late afternoon/evening shore traffic is annoying.

  *   There are places for vehicles, access to bathroom facilities, and trees for antennas..
  *   There is some bunk space in the 1914 Marconi Station Managers Cottage.  Bring cot or air mattress just in case.
  *   We can organize a cookout on Friday evening.
  *   Possible participation in the Old Military Radio Net, 3885 AM, Saturday Morning.
     *   We'll need a young stud to crank the GN-58 for the BC-1306.
  *   Of course, we'll check into Moose and Squirrel at noon Saturday.
Please coordinate with Al Klase, ark at ar88.net<mailto:ark at ar88.net> on items 3 and 4.

Any questions?
