[MRCA] MRCA Mini Meet

[Al Klase]

Hi Ray,

We haven't yet made solid plans, but I'd expect we'll maintain watch on 
60-meters Channel 3 (5.357 MHz USB) on the hour starting mid-day 
Friday.  We'll also keep an eye on email, so if anyone wants a sked, use 
the reflector.  We should have an all-band antenna.  This could be a 
good opportunity to go on patrol in you local area and communicate with 
us.  I'd like to do something on 75 or 40 meter AM with the WWII gear.
