[MRCA] TBL Transmitter

[Mkdorney]

Over Memorial Day Weekend, we’re going to try to communicate with USS Slater on their TBL-8.   Slater is about 80 miles away. I’ll be at the FDR Home and Presidential Library in Hyde Park, NY using a BC-654 with the long wire antenna that was issued with the BC-1306 to try to make contact. A friend of mine will also have his ARC-5 radios up on 40 meters at Hyde Park, hopefully between the two of us, we’ll be successful.  Our long wire antennas should be close enough and to the ground so that they should operate, more or less, as NVIS antennas. Hopefully, we’ll avoid skipping over one another, and at least partially mitigate operating on 80 meters during daylight. Last year my BC-654 krapped our on me, so we were not. Hopefully the Roosevelt Curse ( him being a Democrat and us radio operators being Republican 😉) won’t strike again this year.
