It still does not change the fact that without licensed Amateur
Radio operators to man it, it would be defunct.
Incorrect. MARS functions - at its core - through military personnel
who man the headquarters such as Fort Huachuca, AZ, for the
Army and Scott AFB, IL, for the Air Force. Various military branch
net control stations around the country and the globe are manned
by military personnel who do NOT have to be licensed radio
amateurs.
As usual, only partially correct...more wrong than ocrrect.
"Ocrrect?"
My apologies, Lennie...I forgot that YOU are the only one allowed
to make typos in RRAP...Forgive me, Your Worminess...
Tsk, tsk, tsk...without the DoD Directive there would be NO MARS!
The DoD directive ENABLES MARS.
The civilian, licensed Radio Amateurs make it work.
You don't seem to understand that.
I understand it just fine. You and PuppetBoy are the one's with
comprehension problems.
I can't make it any simpler. MARS IS MILITARY.
MARS is supported and subsidized by the military. If MARS folded
tomorrow, the Armed Forces would manage just fine.
MARS is NOT amateur.
No Amateur Radio = No MARS.
MARS doesn't operate ON amateur radio frequencies.
You just noticed that, eh?
MARS doesn't use amateur radio callsigns.
Whoopie doo, Lennie.
MARS has its own callsigns.
And I said othrwise WHERE...?!?!
Amateurs can't use MARS callsigns IN amateur radio.
Sure they can.
Those programs are headquartered at the locations you cited.
Good job.
What is "good" about doing a simple, one-time search?
Nothing at all in your case, Lennie. I was trying to be civil.
YOU were unable to do the same simple task in three weeks.
Why? It's not necessary. They could be headquartered on the Sea
of Tranqulity and my assertion of No Amateur Radio = No MARS would
still be correct.
BAD JOB to you, Oddjob-wannabe.
You think I want to be a fat Japanese dude in an old James Bond
movie...?
Those programs, beyond those confines, are mangaged by, conducted
by, and are "staffed" by volunteer licensed Amateur Radio operators.
Beyond what "confines?"
Confines of being UNABLE LEGALLY to operate MARS in amateur
bands?
No Amateur Radio = No MARS.
Confines of being UNABLE LEGALLY to use amateur call signs
outside of ham bands?
No Amateur Radio = No MARS
Confines of being UNABLE LEGALLY to use MARS callsigns IN
ham bands?
No Amatuer Radio = No MARS
I had already acknowledged that there are military personnel
assigned to certain MARS stations.
MARS is MILITARY. [that's what the "M" refers to in the acronym]
And the "A" is "A"ffiliate...Amateur Radio being the organization
it (MARS) is affiliated with.
No Amateur Radio = No MARS.
However those "net control stations" will have a hard time
"controlling" ANYthing if there was no one there to control.
If you say so, Man from MARS.
And they'd be talking to...whom...?!?!
Those messages would be getting delivered by...whom..?!?!
However, it's very easy for a thousand or so MILITARY MARS
personnel to communicate with OTHER military MARS stations,
including inter-service-branch communications.
A THOUSAND...?!?!
BBBWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
! ! ! ! ! !
ANDERSCUM, every time I think you've exhausted your last stupid
assertion about Amateur Radio or anything associated with it, you
prove me wrong and add ONE MORE to the till!
MARS military stations have the equipment, have the personnel,
have the authorization.
Authorization...Yes...almost every Marine Corps unit I was
attached to had a Navy/MC callsign assigned to it.
In almost every case, I was the ONLY person in the unit who knew
what it was, and that was only because I found out from some personal
interest.
I know of at least four Navy vessels that had MARS callsigns
assigned that had NO operators, and in two of those cases the CEO had
no idea what his MARS call was nor how to go about using it!
Two local Army Reserve units have MARS calls. They are only
active because the local, civilian, licensed Amateurs who happen to be
MARS members have approached the commanders of the units to which they
are assigned and got them "active".
No Amateur Radio = No MARS.
It really is THAT simple.
You have it really SO WRONG.
No Department of Defense authorization for MARS means NO MARS.
MARS operates OUTSIDE of civil amateur radio bands.
MARS is NOT amateur radio.
...and that's the way it is.
The "way it is" is that you ahve once again unzipped your fly and
let us see just how little you really have to show, Lennie!
You make a loud rant "on paper", but what you have shown us is
that beyond the "theoretical" of searchable public documents, you have
absolutely NO IDEA of what you are talking about.
You are the very epitiome of the ABUSE of free speech...A big
mouth with no facts to back it up...
Oh well...Nothing new from you, Putz.
