Robert asks you a question about Amateurs operating on military
frequencies for military purposes and YOU respond with some assinine
statement
about "most municipal radio operators" wearing police uniforms.
So?
"So?", indeed.
That in ITSELF is completely foolish since police departments are
only
a
fractional part of most municipal payrolls. There's the Fire Department,
EMS,
Department of Sanitation, the utilities departments, roads and highways,
etc...all of whom hav SOME sort of radio service that they use.
Does it make them Policemen? Does it make them MARS Ops?
Does it make any difference to you that youw ere AGAIN shown to have
been
wrong?
Does it make any difference to you that it's an easy thing to do?
Remember, Brain, YOU are the one who set the "precedent" that if
there
is
even ONE example to the contrary, you have been proven WRONG.
I kindly direct you to the word, "most" in my response.
I see that.
That's what's wrong, PuppetBoy.
The police department does NOT constitute the "most" of any municipal
pool
of employees. Even in the smallest towns that I have lived in the police
force
represented, at the MOST, 1/4th of the municipal payroll.
YOU said that MOST "municipal radio operators (wore) police uniforms".
That is wrong. Even in YOUR community.
Would you say that "most" means, "is" or "equal to?"
Now...HOW did you go from discussing operating on military frequencies
to
"municipal radio operators"...?!?!
How did you go from MARS to Amateur Radio?
MARS is dependent upon Amateur Radio. No Amatuer Radio = No MARS.
TRY to stay focussed on the SUBJECT.
The "M" in MARS = MILITARY
The "A" in MARS = AFFILIATE
MARS is NOT amateur radio.
FCC doesn't define MARS. ARRL doesn't define MARS.
Department of Defense Directive defines MARS.
MARS is a MILITARY system.
