[MRCA] Mini MRCA Meet After Action Report

[B. Smith]

      Just a short note. A fantastic  event. Many thanks to Al and the 
New Jersey Antique Radio Club and especially InfoAge for allowing us to 
RON in the Marconi Cottage. We of course spent a lot of time in the  
NJARC Radio Technology Museum which had many many displays  and several 
which Al  N3FRQ had personally crafted. A lot of hands on materiel for 
visitors  - - - -  a attentive visit could easily fill up a day.
       The swap meet was great and our  OL was right across from it 
under shade trees. A 2-6 knot breeze (measured by Pat)  was welcome and 
the breeze had company with  several coolers of beverages. Thanks to 
Bernie , Ole Buzzard Rich, and Al for the cook out and  bringing most of 
the food and drinks. And a special thanks to Pat KC2RNN for letting me 
break out test equipment and sit down for half and hour  and trouble 
shoot the military field anemometer kit  which was all ready working.  
And a special thanks to Jeff for his foot power on the  Charging Set 
Pedal Driven No2. A special thanks to OBR  for bringing Commo1, always 
nice to see a vehicle with 12 different military radio sets which all 
worked.
         So much to see between the different displays and museums but 
my biggest mistake was waiting till late Saturday to Visit the Military 
Vehicle Museum as it could easily take a day to to digest it all.   A 
great event and well organized with too much to do.
