RT 66 Military Vehicle Convoy On-The-Air
« on: October 01, 2017, 0234 UTC »
Up now (0232z) on 7195 LSB.

Members of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association -MVPA- will re-trace the “original” 1926 Route 66 used as a Military Transport Corridor from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA, to move troops, supplies & equipment throughout much of the country.

Interesting subject matter.

K4P just signed off at 0300z. He said that he would be back on Sunday.
