"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 a.k.a. East Coast Military Radio Net that meets every Saturday at 05:00AM ( Eastern time) on 3885Kcs in the 75-meter amateur band and the Sunday night CW net meets at 21:00 on 3570. The next gathering is going to be held on the 17th,18th , and 19th of September 2009. The event will, once again, be held in conjunction with the Red Ball Military Transport Annual Rally"       Intel can be found at : http://www.mrca.ar88.net/
