[MRCA] Fwd: MRCA and Suggested eBay buys

Thu Jun 28 23:59:06 EDT 2018

I'm not sure who to contact at the MRCA, but figured if I put the word out, the response from the right people from the MRCA would be forthcoming.

Mark, Modern radios and equipment we do not need any help with and think that we can do by ourselves. Who could we contact to ask about if the MRCA might want to do an event at our museum airport? Jerry

Hello Everybody,
     Get me a list of what radio gear you might be looking for, and I'll concentrate on finding just that.  The World War Two vintage radios are getting harder to find in decent condition.  If there are Military Radio Collectors Association (MRCA) swap meets near anybody, those are prime places to find the vintage radio stuff.  Also Military Vehicle Preservation Association ( MVPA) swap meets may have some vintage radio equipment.  I have somebody here in New York State that does vintage military radio repairs ( and he's an ARC5 radio enthusiast and may have some extra gear himself ).  I can't help with any modern FAA required radios or RADAR gear you may need if you're going to use the Goxhill Tower as an active control tower, but the vintage stuff I can help with.

         It also might not be a bad idea to contact the MRCA and see if they might be interested in doing an event at the airfield.  It would be a gathering of experts, and would give you a chance to "pick their brains" about setting up the radios.  Also, many of these local experts do vintage radio repairs themselves.

( Many Ham Radio operators sign off by either typing or tapping out in Morse Code "73" when they finish a transmission and sign off.  "73" translates to "Regards".  Under their name, many Ham Radio Operators put their call sign, since in the Ham Radio community, you may not know somebody's name, but you do know their call sign.  My call sign is WW2RDO. )
