[MRCA] QRP Military Radio Magic

[wa6bbq at sdf.org]

Thanks Anthony!

Ok, so it is the QRP-Labs progrock. I've built several of their kits! Last
time I checked their site, they were temporarily out of the progrocks,
will have to look again.

I'm going to guess you're using two units, one for all the transmit
frequencies, and a second for receive.

Anxiously awaiting your final version of the procedure!

Thanks again,
Jason WA6BBQ
