Tom Green of the Alamance County Rangers 11:15 to 12:15:  


Hands on training session on compass and map work using the USGS map 7.5 minute quad map Wayah Bald referenced in the serialized story "The Patrol" by Dan Morgan. The objective is to learn how to locate UTM positions on a map using appropriate map-tools and navigating between them by compass bearings.  Along with this will be quick demo on pace counter beads with a measured 100 meter section to check your pace count.  This is the bare minimum basics to learn before moving on to Land Navigation Training. 

*FM transmitter to broadcast podcasts from Forward Observer and Radio Free Redoubt  to demonstrate low power FM as clandestine radio communication. Pirate box wireless router serving up pictures, documents and videos. Handheld scanner to set up as demo and  100 meter walking line for pace counting down driveway.

http://www.rtl-sdr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/new_scanner.png 

Tom Green of the Alamance County Rangers  and NC Scout 1:15 to 2:15
 

How to use an SDR to quickly find locally active frequencies of interest, put into a scanner, and collect/monitor those signal activities.  Will have a large screen TV to view the SDR signals and a PowerPoint presentation on collecting and reporting monitoring results for later analysis.  All presented in the format of an imaginary mission where you have a reason to be looking for and reporting signal activity.  
 
Once the attendees have had a chance to hands on with land nav and scanning, they'll get a live fire of transmitting directionally, from an OP to another OP we will set up, and a QRP NVIS demo. This should tie everything together, and the attendees will get a chance to do the stuff they've been reading about.   

*ADDED:  Audience participation mapping out their neighborhoods using white boards.

 Izzy M44 1947 with laminate stock. Good example of Post-War improved quality rifle with higher polish bluing. Beautiful refurb. An excellent shooter, holds about 2 inches at 50 yards off hand scopeless. Behind the 1943 M44, this year is the second rarest year with only ~120,000 made. It has a shiny bore and shoots great with a low wall receiver. All numbers match except floor plate has been force matched. Not counter bored. With cleaning kit, ammo pouch and case. The brake has to be removed for the bayonet to be extended.Winner can have the NC PATCON Logo as above (CADD Graphics) engraved on the condition that the rifle will not be sold.

  13. Is it too late to attend at this late date? I and one other are interested in attending Saturday. I live up in the Currituck area. Totally understand if you don't have enough meals ordered. We would be happy to pay for the lunch regardless of whether you have enough food for us or not.

    1. Thank you and since I leave here Tuesday, I doubt you could get it to me by then, so if you're coming to camp on Friday or before, that would work as I could change the headcount Friday. Thanks and let me know what you think. We would certainly appreciate your attendance.

  15. Brock, don't know if you will see this before you leave tomorrow. We were planning on just attending the Saturday event so are unable to come down Friday or earlier this week. I know you don't know me from "Adam", but am committed to attend on Saturday with one other guy. We are meeting another friend who has attended previous PATCON's and is encouraging us to attend on Saturday. Hopefully you will take a chance on us and include us in your Saturday lunch headcount, or if not won't turn us away if we come down regardless. We are happy to pay the $25 each whether we eat or not. Best Regards
