[MRCG] MRCG 2018 Friday May 4t Radio Exercise Survey

[Thomas Murphy]

 I'm think we may want to forgo the Fox Hunt, not sure the museum people
would like a bunch of us running around.

 6 Meter FM operation would be OK, we might want to talk about this later
after I get a better idea of who will do what.

 OFF TOPIC.....    My sisters are going to be in Palm Springs for a week
starting Saturday the 21st. I'm going down to visit them for a few days, I
will either drive or fly and may have time to visit you Saturday the 21st.
Would you be around?? If so I need an address and could you send me a phone
number

I plan to be on portable 51.0 MHz FM w/ 150 Hz tone squelch full time during
the daytime, via a backpack SINCGARS rig.

I'm also planning to bring my AN/PRC-70, though I don't expect to lug it
around all the time. I'll be able to get on HF USB/AM voice with it, plus it
provides redundant 6m FM capability. I might have a sound card interface set
up for it + my laptop by then (but no promises), to allow digital modes such
as RTTY. But my laptop's battery is shot so I would only be able to do that
near an AC power source.

I can bring the 51.0 MHz fox hunt transmitter and one loaner PRC-6 w/ DF
loop, if at least a couple others plan to bring 6m FM DF gear. I think it's
only worth the trouble of running a fox hunt if there will be a a few
hunters.

For 0 Hz band operation, I'm bringing my field telephone switchboard and one
EE-8, and I hear that others will also bring field phones, with at least one
more switchboard in attendance. I'll bring a spool of plain old telecom
punchdown wire. Sorry, I don't have proper field phone wire yet.

I expect to have an event venue map up on the MRCG web site by this evening.

I plan to display a bunch of burst message devices inside the hall, and can
give an impromptu talk on them if the schedule needs to be filled in.
That'll be mostly a non-operational display, since I still have a lot of
work to do on the various devices.
