Amateur radio isn't the US military.
MARS is military. "Sorry, Hans, MARS IS amateur
radio!"
No Amateur Radio = No MARS. The "A" in MARS stands for
"Affiliate", as in "Affiliated" with Amateur Radio.
Amateur radio is NOT Private Land Mobile Radio Service.
But Amateur Radio is used as an emergency adjunct to it, so sayeth
the FCC. (You know, Lennie...the FEDERAL Communications Commission...)
Amateur radio is NOT Mass Media Radio Service.
But under certain circumstances may be used to assist in that
pursuit...so sayeth the FCC.
Amateur radio is NOT Maritime Radio Service.
But Amateur Radio is routinely carried aboard both commercial and
pleasure vessles of many types...Including warships of the United
States Navy...So sayeth the FCC AND the Deaprtment of Defense.
Amateur radio is NOT Aviation Radio Service.
But with the permission of the pilot-in-command, Amateur Radio
activities may be conducted from both private and commercial
aircarft...So sayeth the FCC AND the FAA.
Amateur radio is NOT Personal Radio Service.
But Amateur Radio may be rotinely used for many of the same
purposes of the Personal Radio Service...So sayeth the FCC...
So...so far we have at least three federal agencies telling us
that Amateur Radio CAN be used under all of the flags above that Lennie
said Amateur Radio "wasn't".
Sheeeesh.
Leonard H. Anderson is a putz. A loser again...\
