[MRCA] Field Day Gear

[B. Smith]

The board is a "Active" antenna from a Kit by Pacific Antenna. During 
testing I  compared it with my end fed half wave on 40 and any signal 
that was detected using the half wave could be heard using  this board. 
During testing I had to drop the half wave to the ground  because of 
coupling between the two antennas and even then move the half wave wire 
for more separation.  I was surprised with the interaction between the 
two antennas. The board has its built in power supply which eliminates 
AC line interference  and a collapsible  whip.  No IC's involved just a 
couple of FET's. Perfect for field ops.
