[MRCA] Field opps this Saturday

[B. Smith]

Be interesting to look at a Topo map and chart the ground path for 51.0 
and 29.4.to W3A
This will allow you get obtain the correct bearing to your target and if 
using a Mag compass don't forget to correct for variation.
Nice to have this type of info prior to deploying.  :-)
What freqs and times  will you be guarding on 20,18, 15 and 10?
