[MRCA] M&S Southern version test this Saturday

[KD2GIY]

Ray,

I wonder what the CW or digital reverse beacons aka RBN or psk reporter
looks like for the direction that your antenna is in..

Hopefully a lot of people are not tied up with their families to see if
they can join..

I will be in the mountains of West Virginia for the holiday so if you want
to get a report from me using a horizontal antenna let me know..


Best regards
Dave
