Military Monitoring Recap; April 2010

April was not a good month for monitoring. Between spending time getting the mobile/portable amateur station working with a new antenna, having several amateur radio events, and just not having much time to play radio, I don't have all that much to put in the April 2010 MilCom recap. From Brunswick, almost all of my monitoring time is outdoors because I depend on the mobile scanners and the HTs, so the summer months may lead to shorter logs and recaps because I despise the summer heat (being pasty white, I also tend to burn quickly and painfully...) Anyway, with apologies for being so late, here is the April recap. Hopefully you find it useful.
