[MRCA] Field Day Power

[Rob Flory]

Zorro, nice repurposing of the medical tin.

I may have to get my TRC-77 out in the field for field Day.

Speaking of the TRC-77 in modern use, I wonder how hard it would be to make
an Arduino controller to tune progrocks with external thumbwheels or even
knob for kc and thumbwheel for Mc.

I did manage to work a handful of stations with my TBX in the field some
years back.  I can't remember if I ran the transmitter on the EF generator
or on the dynamotors.  Probably the latter.
