[MRCA] Atlantic Highlands, NJ Radar Site

[Ray Fantini]

Looks like it would be a great site to activate for both Abel Archer and regular M&S Net operations.  Biggest problem for me is I can't see dragging the mutt up all that way and paying all the tolls that would be involved.
Think the only two big events that I have on the calendar for the rest of the year are MRCA Gilbert/Red ball in September and Able Archer in November unless something else pops up. Do usually drag the mutt over a friend's house for Field Day in June but that’s just down the road and is more about eating and drinking then radio.
