[MRCA] York PA MVPA AAR

[Jeep Platt]

Ray,

Fine report, trooper.  You'll get that third stripe in 10 or 12 years. (Cpt. Nathan Brittles to Trooper Smith in She Wore a Yellow Ribbon).  More to the point, though, the MDARNG used wetted sandbags on top of the radios as heat sinks.  Seemed to help. But, yes... they do heat up and sometimes fail, don't they.

What was supposed to be achieved by this project?

The event was the MVPA (Military Vehicle Preservation Association) annual convention that was held in York PA. The convention features multipole classes of military vehicles that are shown, judged and displayed along with a large vendor flea market located both indoors and outdoors along with a living history reenactment encampment. Not just a static display but also an opportunity to see history in motion, the flame thrower demo were a big hit!
The MRCA was allowed to set up and operate a display alongside the living history section. I would attempt to set up the M151 with the GRC-106 and VRC-43 and operate from that location.
This would include the MMRCG net on 7.396 and the Moose & Squirrel net on 5.357
Along with any local operation on the fair grounds on 51.0 FM or 3.885 AM.
