What a cast of characters to convince anyone of "enjoying the
magic of having one's very own radio station by learning morris
goad in order to talk legally via SSB."
Hot Flash, Hot Rod...
It's not required to learn Morse Code to use SSB.
I know that...in military and commercial radio. I used SSB voice
the first time in 1954 communicating with Hawaii from Tokyo.
Lennie the Lame refuses to admit that Amateur licensees have had Morse
Code free access to the SSB mode for 13 years now.
You really CANNOT read Part 97 with any comprehension, can
you?
What part of Part 97 stumps you? Let us know and maybe one of
us can help you out...
There are SSB subbands on 6 and 2 meter bands. And that requires only a
code free
tech license.
He knows it, Robert.
He's just an antagonist. He has absolutely nothing left to offer, so
being argumenitive and idiotic are his methods of expression.
Sure MARS is not ham radio, but are not most MARS operators also
ham radio licensees? Hams that have been authorized by the military to
operate on MARS radio systems using military owned stations for military
traffic?
Yes, they are. And without the contibutions of those licensed Amateur
Radio operators, there'd be no MARS program today...At least not in it's
present form.
