[MRCA] Gilbert Swap Meet MRCA get-together

[Ray Fantini]

Have pictures of a lot of the Gilbert stuff on my web page at:

http://staff.salisbury.edu/~rafantini/

Also have more stuff about the Dayton Hamvention.

The big question would be running RTTY at Gilbert. I have run RTTY using the micro RAT, GRC-106 in the MUTT but did it by cheating and using PC for modem and terminal. There is a RAT set up for the M151 called the VSC-2 or 3 or something like that and have all the stuff for it but it requires you to surrender the passenger seat and the bench seat in the back of the mutt. And once you do all that you also cant fit things like the VRC-12 or anything else in the mutt. But maybe I can con you into dragging out your UGC-74 and MD and we can set that up outside the mutt and run the full Vietnam RAT patrol? That or what ever the huge page printer was that they used with the first generation VSC set up.
Running one hundred pounds of vintage teletype in the field would be a new level huge, heavy and pointlessness.

A web page I put together a couple years back on the 2019 event:

http://staff.salisbury.edu/~rafantini/MRCA19.htm

I plan on getting to the site Thursday and will be bringing the self-propelled GRC-106 aka M-151A1 “MUTT” that comes equipped with VRC-12 and a URC-110 for VHF FM or AM and as always will have several back pack radios for sixty and six meters.
Will be posting more the closer we get.
