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 did until the Air Force offered to handle the MWR traffic.
They had trouble getting the schedule arranged for gateways and
getting appropriate equipment to the deployed units. Callsigns and
"authorization" were already in place.
No, they had a local problem allowing it.
Seems the Marines have a nasty habit of carrying combat equipment
into combat areas as a first priority. MWR gear comes after that.
One marine had a pallet of amateur radio gear, "enabled" by heavy airlift.
Best of Luck.
Back at ya!
Don't need luck when you work smarter.
