[MRCA] Moose & Squirrel Birthday Party

[W2HX]

Thanks to Al, our FEARLESS LEADER! For running the net and for everyone who helped create such a great net to get to exercise our toys. Everyone should reply to Al to fill in your details of the rigs for posterity.

I was hoping to QSO with Ulrich, but alas we were too close for good copy. In his honor, I operated using two Rohde and Schwarz pieces of equipment on the net today, the manpack was an R&S M3TR manpack operating into an R&S FK859 antenna coupler into a 43’ vertical.

Pix of the rigs:

Let me know if there is anything I should change or add.  Might be interesting to document some of the interesting rigs.
By my count, we had 9 PRC-47's.

N1UL - ULRICH ROHDE (Taught some of us a lot about radio.) showed up in the post net and caused a pileup.  He was  on one of his own radios from Upper Saddle River, NJ.

Thanks to everyone who made this a success.

VY 73,
Al
