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

[Thomas Murphy]

  Tim,
                What will you use for an antenna for the TRC-77??? There is an unused flag pole on grassy strip in front of Meeting Hall that could be used to hoist a wire.


                                                                               Tom, W6TOM

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....
