I am new to this MRCA and want to make the trip to Gilbert. I have a few items that I have been restoring, namely WW2 aircraft radios, but nothing yet that I can use on the air. My main reason for going is to meet people and see all that is on display. I was in the signal corps US Army from 1968 to 1971 and had much fun with RT-524s. I had my own in an M-151 jeep. Our signal battalion had GRC-26Ds, lots of GRC-19s, VHF gear included TRC-24s that operated on A and C band 50-100, and 225-400 MHz. We started using GRC-106s while I was there, and I had my own personal "ham rig" called a MRC-95. It was a pair of Collins 618Ts with antenna tuners 400 Hz supplies and remote control units. Anyway, I am going to Gilbert and hope to meet a bunch of folks. Maybe next year I will have a working transmitter? I plan to be there for Friday and Saturday at least.

What are some of the plans for Gilbert? Getting close, just decided to splurge and spent $60 on a trailer brake controller for the mutt carrier and am having thoughts about what besides the self propelled GRC-106 is going to make the trip.
Figure the MAK has to go, want to try to use that to QSO with the local 3885 stuff and just generally show it off. What are the rest of you thinking? Hope we can do a large scale Beltsville Lake field operation like last year. May try to do a pack radio and stomp off into the woods or something if I can con Walt into running the stuff in the mutt again.
We had a dozen different stations operating from all parts of the lake last year. With the mutt as NCS it can accommodate any mode on HF, six meter FM via the VRC-43 or VHF AM or FM on the URC. The issue is not NCS but the limitations of pack sets, I know my PRC will only do 5.357 or 3.885 Almost makes you want to go out and get something that can QSY 3885 last year had a lot of outside activity but 60 meters and the VHF 51.0 or any other VHF channels were clear.
Anyone have any thoughts?
