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.

LHA / WMD


Yup.


Yo Bleeper . . this thread brings up a question . . how many pieces of
MARS traffic did your morphed version of T5/NØIMD handle?


Yo spud, Amateur Radio Operators don't handle MARS traffic.

However, the Marines did have trouble getting authorized to activate
Navy MARS. So I requested that we activate an AF MARS station to
provide MWR traffic for the Marines. In the space of two dits, the
Navy authorized MARS use. An AF MARS authorization is written into
each TALCE deployment.

Best of Luck.
