On-the-air network operation is considered an integral part of MARCO activity, and is conducted for the purpose of discussing and exchanging medical and technical information, and, wherever possible, to be of public service by assisting medical emergencies and other priority traffic.

The resulting high-impedance transmission line would make a quarter-wave plate tank circuit physically short and difficult to handle. Two of these amplifiers are of interest to the serious vhf operator.

The blocking capacitors are rated for rf service, and inexpensive tv-type capacitors are not recommended for this amplifier. The other amplifier covers the range from to Mhz, and is well suited for use on the amateur Mhz band; it will be described later. Assembly is made of aluminum panels. Copper tubes are standard water pipe. C1 pF Centralab L1 5 turns no.
