Operation Able Archer 83 was on October 21nd and 22rd. This year we operated from Supply Depo X-Ray in Delaware. W3A  was the event call and it did take part in the Saturday Morning RTTY and the 7.296 USB Net

The MRCA Red Ball – Gilbert event was happy to host the MMRCG September 23rd and 24th. We always send out a contingent to represent the MMRCG with both displays and take part  in the field operation. Couple of us were also on the teletype and voice Net Saturday morning from that location.

The Dayton Hamvention is always one of the highlights of the year for the MMRCG, in addition to the Hamvention itself we also had the 3885 AM WW2 Radio Net for backpack and small sets and a 51.0 FM Cold War Net featuring all types of field radios.

It was great to get back together this last year after the two year suspension due to Covid.
