LATE NEWS Moose and Squirrel Net Birthday Party Noon EST, Saturday, 12 November 2011 - 5371.5 KHz USB The Moose and Squirrel Cold-War Clandestine and Long-Range-Reconnaissance -Patrol Net is now more than a year old.  The initial activation of the net was 14 October 2010, and one of the early landmarks was the Verteran's Day operation on 11 November 2010.  So we're going to count Veteran's Day as the nets official birthday. The on-the-air party was a lot of fun.  Here's some VIDEO form Yuki, KD2AGJ (now KW2K). K4CHE's PRC-70 0n the Net 18 OCT 2011   CLICK HERE, and Scroll Down to "Videos." M&S QSY - 30 AUG 2011 Effective Tuesday, 30 AUG 2011, the primary frequency for The Moose and Squirrel Cold-War Clandestine and Long-Range-Reconnaissance-Patrol Net will change to 5371.5 KHz (Channel 4).  We're making this change in order to vacate 5403.5 KHz (Channel 5) which is the designated 60-meter calling frequency.  This change is feasible because the long standing QRM problem on Channel 4 has been resolved. First Saturday C/LRRP - 4 DEC 2010. We're declaring this a success, and we'll continue Saturday operations.  We managed to blow the cobwebs off a bunch of interesting radios.   Net Control: Al - N3FRQ - Transworld TW-100 "Flyaway" N3FRQ Photo N2BOX - Pat - AN/PRC-104A Stock Photo W1NZR - Brown - URC-35 KW1I - Dale - Harris RF-230 via 2 -wire remote KW1I Photo KA1GON - Charlie - Racal PRM-4031 and Motorola Micom Stock Photo WB2JWU - Pete - AN/PRC-47 WB2JWU at Gilbert W2ILA - Tom The net has been meeting regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:00 Eastern time on 5.4035 since 14 Oct. Veteran's Day Operations With NCS N3FRQ deployed to exotic Bayonne, NJ. The initial activation of the C-LRRP Net took place on 14 Oct 2010 on 5403.5 KHz.  We had eight checkins covering the region from Dover, DE to Bow, NH.  Conditions were good, with virtually all stations were able to work each other.  Based on this initial success, we have resolved to continue net operations every Tuesday and Thursday.  It was also suggest that all available stations check this frequency for casual contacts on any day at noon.

	Motivation:  To get our military and paramilitary radios on the air within the NE US region on a regular basis. Time:  Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12:00 Eastern Time Frequencies:  3996, 5403.5(alt 5371.5), 7296 as needed. Mode:  USB
