[MRCA] Military Radio Field Day / MMRCG

[Ray Fantini]

I am planning on being operational from out back using the M-151/GRC-106 set up and will be putting up antennas for 60 and 40 meters. Will use the vehicle mounted whip for operation on 20 meters. Will also guard 51.0 but beyond field operations where others have been local not much luck with six meters and a low antenna.

Beyond 5.357 and 7.296 maybe we can identify some other channels that we may try to center on? Would like to maybe pick something on twenty with a possibility of establishing a QSO between east and west?

My knowledge of propagation sucks, perhaps someone more knowledgeable can pick a couple proposed times and frequencies when such a contact may be possible.

If we do something on twenty have no issue putting up additional dipole for that band. Have worked many states and some overseas with the fourteen foot whip on twenty but for this event want everything to work.
