[W2CRA] CRA: 444.85 Up

[Chagan]

This is awesome Bill, thanks to you and SLJ! You guys are knocking it out of the park. 
I found that the legacy 444.850 had great coverage at the new field day site at Riegel Ridge. So I would expect that the MTR2000 will also do in well in that direction and also have an amazing footprint. I have thrown my call sign out and and monitoring. Let’s work this puppy. Anyone else want to throw out a call?

73,
