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

[Tim]

Hi - I don't know, I will have to improvise something unobtrusive, I don't
want to disturb the staff..

Probably from the "camping area"; I have my eye on that barbed wire fence
though...they can work quite well.  I usually bring my field antenna kit
along - lots of options.  We'll see.  It's all training.
