[MRCA] Hamvention 2025

[jkarlow at comcast.net]

To all who checked into the 2025 Hamvention 51.0 MHz Cold War net and adding to Steve Johnston's comments:

It was a great event!  While there were the usual challenges of equipment operation and battery life, the weather held up and there were 33 stations checking in. For your enjoyment, attached please find a couple of pictures and the net log.

Many thanks to all participants and support resources for making this possible!

The 51.0 Cold War FM Net was the bomb! Man, there must have been over thirty stations that checked in. Feel sorry for Karlow running NCS for that being he had way too much traffic. They did split check in and opps for the net up but they were packing them in. Radios from PRC-25/77, PRR and PTT 9 sets and tons of other stuff up on line. Some tone some not, some wide band and others narrow. But fun was there for all.

It was great fun.  I really enjoy being NCS for the ops portion of the Cold War Net - it seemed to go especially well this year.
