Military Radio Collectors Association |
|
The Military Radio Collectors Association, organized in 2000, is intended to bring together people with a genuine interest in the subject. It is an outgrowth of the Old Military Radio Net that meets every Saturday at 05:00AM (prevailing Eastern time) on 3885KHz in the 75-meter amateur band.
A Spring MRCA get-together will take place at the Military Transport Associations (MTA) Military Vehicle Show on April 18, 19 at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in northern New Jersey. The MTA invited the MRCA to attend their show to set-up our displays and play radio as we do at the Red Ball Military Express Meet in September. They have a covered area reserved for us. Some of us will arrive on April 17 to reconnoiter and for early set-up. This MRCA gathering will be more laid back than our September meeting. No presentations or remote radio communication operations are planned. We will use this opportunity to evaluate the site for future possibilities. There is overnight camping with showers that are reputed to be better than those at the Gilbert Fairgrounds. Please send mail to kw1i@earthlink.net to let us know if you can come, and which day(s) you plan to come. We would like to have badges made up so we can have visibility at the event. The admission cost is $5 for the MTA show. There is no MRCA admission charge. There is a $10 overnight fairgrounds camping charge. Check out http://www.mrca.ar88.net for additional MRCA information and directions to the event. The MTA event web site is http://www.mtaswapmeet.us/ . |
Tentative dates for our ninth annual meet are 18-19 September 2009 in Gilbert, Pennsylvania. Watch this space..
