“Rocket Launcher” TM 11-5820-538-12 manual

Per CVARC president Tom Long KB1NGQ’s suggestion, I’ve uploaded the U.S. Army technical manual for our Mast AB-577/GRC “rocket launcher.” Find it here: tm-11-5820-538-12.pdf. Note that this is a big file, weighing in at 16.1 MB, and so might take you a long time to download. We originally downloaded this file from wd5eae.org.

No July meeting

Since our regular July meeting would occur mere days after we’re getting together for Field Day, we decided at the June meeting to cancel July’s meeting. Hope to see you at Field Day and at our regularly scheduled meeting on August 5th!
