[MRCA] Proposed Mini-Meet 23 July

[Ray Fantini]

How are you planning on running the M&S Net from that location? Was thinking that maybe I can drag the M151A1 out and use that for special event M&S Net operations.  The big issue would be all the tolls up the NJ Turnpike with the car trailer. Just finished installation of the VRC-12 system on the passenger’s side of the 151 along with the VHF Tactical Log Periodic Antenna system that I picked up can maybe try 51.0 contacts with others in NJ? Is anyone else bringing their vehicles and would there be a display area for them?

Gang,

As many of you know, I do volunteer work at the New Jersey Antique Radio Club's "Radio Technology Museum<http://www.rtm.ar88.net/>" at InfoAge on the Jersey Shore.  InfoAge is located at the Marconi Belmar Trans-Atlantic Receiver Site (1914), which later became Camp Evans (1941), The U.S. Army's Radar Laboratory.

The Museum is located in a 1941 "temporary" building behind the Marconi Hotel.

Back in 2009, we had an MRCA Mini-Meet<http://www.mrca.ar88.net/photo_gallery/MiniMeet_2009.html> here.  A good time was had by all.  I think it's time to do it again.

  *   Saturday, 23 July 2016, is the NJARC Summer Radio Swapmeet at the site, 8AM-Noon.
  *   The "Military Technology Museum" is now open with 10,000 square feet of Army vehicles.
  *   There is some limited bunk space in the 1914 Marconi Station-Managers Cottage for folks showing up on Friday.
  *   There is over-night parking space for ambulances, etc.
  *   We could burn steaks on Friday evening.
  *   Some displays in front of the Museum on Saturday PM would make us worth our keep.
  *   Of course, we'll conduct Moose & Squirrel at noon.

Here's some links to recent improvements at the Radio Museum:

  *   Intro and early radio display<http://rtm.ar88.net/pix/Radio%20Technology%20Museum%20Update.pdf>.
  *   WWII Tactical Communications<http://rtm.ar88.net/pix/WWII%20Tactical%20Communications.pdf>

Lets talk about what to do with this opportunity.

VY 73,
Al
