> Although the ARRL Field Day happened on the same weekend, the West Coast
> Military Radio Collectors Group Detachment Alpha (FWD) held our own 4 day
> deployment at the same timeframe.
> We were up in the Sierras and checked into the MRCG AM net on 3985 with 
> the
> PRC-174 and had numerous CW contacts with the TRC-77 from our CW position.
> We also ran range tests with the PRC-25 / PRC-6 and VRC-7 mounted in the
> vehicle (1.75 miles with the PRC-6 across dense forest/ mountain terrain).
> It fared better than the BC-611/PRC-174 rangewise...
>
> Antennas were NVIS dipoles for 80/60/40.  Good comms on 5357 and 3550 with
> Andy as usual.
>
> Weather and chow was great at this very remote campsite at 8000 feet. 
> Pine
> Needle Tea and bacon&tomato sammitches for breakfast.
>
> Thanks to all you guys for checking in with us on the Net.  Good signals,
> we were getting out well with 5 Watts of AM, being that close to the
> ionosphere...low noise too, being 15 miles from the nearest paved road...
