Rob,

If anyone is in the north-east corner of the USA, they might try The Moose and Squirrel Cold-War Clandestine and Long-Range-Reconnaissance-Patrol Net, a.k.a Moose and Squirrel, at noon local on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays on 5357 USB.

It's a much snappier operation (directed net) and all are welcome.  Marine Corp PRC-47's often show up.  You can pick them out by their 400 Hz hum.

This page is a little dated: http://www.mrca.ar88.net/Old%20Pages/Net/MandS.html  But the net has been going strong for almost 11 years.

My son, who used to attend MRCA events with me at Gilbert and InfoAge, is now in USMC communications.

He recently told me that his colleagues on the radio side want to work me on the air with my old stuff.  I had the idea that maybe I could give them a shout out on OMRN/Phone as they listened to all the other cool old radios. 

I tuned in briefly this morning and was reminded that the net sounds too much like regular operations on 3885,  "solder to talk", long pauses during transmissions, old buzzard-style detailed stories about unrelated topics, etc. etc.

Ain't no 20-something wants to listen to that.

Anyone have a suggestion for an alternative way to reach this natural pool of future MRCA members?
