[MRCG] Status

[Thekan, Paul]

I think the 'Swedish guy" you mean is Bjorn Forsberg SM5UR/W6.

Lynn Smith is not a ham , so no call sign. Will occasionally see him here at the De Anza swap meet. Did not see him  though this last Saturday at the swap. I think he is a member of the MVCC mil vehicle club and can see if he is on the roster.

Bryce,
The Swedish guy is Lars.  I will dig up his call sign for you this week.  Not sure about Lynn.  You could probably track them down in the open on the reflector email: mrcg at mailman.qth.net

Cheers!

Craig

I would have been absolutely lost, spent some more money in the blind, and eventually had to give up, because these problems all exceed operator level maintenance and my skills.

Also there was another guy, I don't know his name, but he had the table behind his car straight across from you at the swap meet when we met you and he had those PRC-10 manpack radios that I was looking at right before I got distracted by your GRC-9. His name sounded Swedish or something...
