Hi John and the group.  That WA8LKL call you are talking about is now used
at Camp T.  They've got a ham station there that is run by the local club
there, and one of the members of that club graduated from MSB a long time
ago.  I don't know what other activities are going on at that camp now
that are ham radio related other then field day, but I have heard that a
lot of the things that have gone on there are cut back now.
        As far as equipment is concerned I don't know what is used
there now because when I attended the adult camp in 1998 nobody aas at the
station, and therefore we didn't get to see it.
