On the afternoon of October 21, 2026, NARS members Dennis (K4DGW) and Chris met in Pinckney, Michigan for a NARS Micro Field Day.
Dennis turned the back seat of his pickup truck into a mobile Emergency Operations Center (EOC), with an MC-750 multi-band antenna mounted on the truck bed. Using his Flex Radio and Starlink, he sent Chris a Winlink message on 20 meters.
Exercises like this are exactly what NARS is about: quickly setting up a portable station anywhere and passing traffic over radio, ready for the day normal communications are down.
Other NARS members chimed in afterward. The MC-750 is a team favorite because it’s easy to set up and works well, and add-on coils extend it to the 40 m and 80 m bands.
