Hamvention Field Ops;

I am going to be beating this drum for a couple days until I am on the road for the Hamvention, so if you don’t want to hear it too bad.

This year at the Xenia Ohio Hamvention there will be at least three Military Pack radio or field radio themed events. On Friday the 19th at 1500 local will be the first annual 5.357 MHz USB Able Archer 83 Net. Cold War and later military radios and pack sets.

Figure by three that afternoon things will be settled down enough for doing some radio, everyone can get on and talk about all the deals!

Saturday at noon, the long-established military radio net at the Hamvention the World War 2 3.885 AM Net, what may be the largest collection of working BC-611 sets in the world takes place at the Hamvention.

At 1400 hours local the 51.0 FM Cold War radio Net favoring PRC-25/77, PRC-68, PRC-6 and 10 and a plethora of European and Soviet bloc radios.

MMRCG will have the “Todge” up again in 7740 or there about, and we will have several spare radios just in case you don’t have anything with you. As Joe, WA4VAG always says “field radios are happy in the field, not up on some shelf”.
