I’ll be bringing 2 BC-659 radios with the vehicle power supplies and 2 twelve volt vehicle batteries. Frequency crystals for 29.6 MHz and 29.1 MHz. And maybe a couple of BC-611 ( 3885 kHz).

The Moose and Squirrel net is described as "The Moose and Squirrel

Cold-War Clandestine and Long-Range-Reconnaissance-Patrol Net" so the portable operation is a natural. I do operate portable but not mobile.

I always enjoyed portable operation. QRM on 60 during is quite high at home, especially at noon, so finding a quiet place to operate is also a bonus. Even though I am retired I still don't have enough hours in the day and noontime is a convenient time between the morning and afternoon chores and projects.

I'll try be join in on both days,

Friday the 26th will be an event where everyone gets to drag out there backpacks and vehicle mounted, often military vehicle mounted hardware and make contacts. Being a bunch of us will be on site around Beltsville lake no matter how poorly your set up works we will guarantee contacts! Many of the operators that will be on site have good set ups and in the past several years we have been encouraging those not in attendance to participate and give signal reports. I am always surprised to use a backpack with a whip and make contact with stations two hundred miles away. Some may say that's the same thing that happens every Moose & Squirrel net and that's true, but we will have a lot of us together at Gilbert.

Use to be we did not talk too much about the Saturday M&S Net opps being most of us were already on site but today that's not always the case. I will make it a point to fire up the radio onboard the mutt and get on at noon that Saturday and will see what happens.

I know from experience that N2MS is almost always beating the drum for mobile operation on the M&S Net and if you cannot make the event would be great to work you both days! The last several months propagation has sucked and often N2MS and K3TZJ are the only stations I can get good copy on. Think Ron will be on site with his PRC-70 and if I can con someone into working as NCS for Friday I would love to get into the field and try out my new GRC-215 backpack.
