[MRCA] Tomorrows MMRCG USB Net

Ray,

Since the PRC-74 is a 15 watt radio maybe we could use it on the USB segments such as 5354, 5360 or 5363 of the new 15kHz band. I've attached a diagram provided by BonnieKQ6KA of HFPAck/HFLink fame. This would also be a good place to check out those QRP and G90 radios.

Propagation is not that great for low power during the day but 9 watts will get out as the sun sets.

That being said; I've not seen the official announcement of the band change in the code of Federal Regulations yet:

I am told 5357 is now QRP so it has been proposed that we use 5403.5 I just put it in on the Harris and will be ready to go. Please forgive me if you wanted to run a PRC-74 or 47 but will be willing to help anyone who has one modify it to accommodate the new split.
