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.
The Marines had NO difficulty getting "authorized".
They had trouble getting the schedule arranged for gateways and
getting appropriate equipment to the deployed units. Callsigns and
"authorization" were already in place.
Seems the Marines have a nasty habit of carrying combat equipment
into combat areas as a first priority. MWR gear comes after that.
Best of Luck.
Back at ya!
