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

[Tim]

Hi All - I will bring a PRC-6 and PRC-25 for comms and a 51.0 mc Fox Hunt
with a DF antenna.  Probably no HF voice but HF CW with a TRC-77, maybe
other.  Will probably try the "usual" CW contact with K6KPH (at KPH Pt.
Reyes) on the 7050 kc West Coast Agent Net day freq Saturday as they are
available.  (RD and the KPH staff will take logistics requests for airdrops
of "agent" supplies and forward them to the KPH Air Wing for later
delivery...)

I can also bring a TA-1/PT, TA-312 phone set with wire and a GRA-6 RWI pair
if interested.

Will guard 146.52 FM for liaison and convoy comms.

Many thanks to Steve and the crew for the quick turnaround and execution of
Plan B !!  Thanks to Tom and Verne for the Recon - nothing better than
local intel....
