he does

No, he does not.

I challenge you to find ONE "hot-ham-and-cheese" post wherein he's
signed his name and/or callsign to it.

A callsign is not a name. MARS is not Amateur Radio.

Only one person holds any one particular callsign, ergo it's far
more individual than a name.

Sorry, it is NOT "more individual." Amateur radio callsigns can be
re-issued to others after a former license holder passes away.
[the FCC granteth, the FCC taketh away]

Example: W1HR was the callsign of Jim Fisk, founding editor of
Ham Radio Magazine, now a club callsign (honoring his name).
W7DI, former callsign of SK Eugene Hubbell (W9ERU in Illinois),
is now a club call. Gene was a 55 WPM morseman by several
tests of morsemanship.


There's only one N0IMD, however I know a
half dozen "Brian's"

Incorrect use of the apostrophe indicating a POSSESSIVE.
PLURALITIES are expressed with the simple addition of an
S at the end, NO apostrophe.


And MARS does not exist without Amateur Radio.

The Military AFFILIATE Radio System exists, and was created
FOR the military (originally by the Army). MARS does NOT
operate IN amateur radio bands. MARS callsigns are different
than civilian radio amateur's callsigns.


Don't know why you brought that in, but there ya go.

Quite possibly because YOU FAILED to acknowledge that the
Department of Defense DIRECTIVE that establishes the
MILITARY Affiliate Radio System?


We don't call ya "Brain" for nothing!

Are your separate personalities counting themselves as a
"group" so that you can wave your "we-we" again?

I call Brian Burke Brian. So do others in here.

When YOU present some actual proof of your 18-year "active
duty time in the USMC" "we" may stop calling you "Dudly"
(after the fake air carrier pilot mentioned by pseudonym
in Ernest K. Gann's autobiograpical book "Fate is the
Hunter").

One thing "we" will never do is call you "brain" for all
the mistakes you've made in the past seven-plus years.
An imaginative ego (even if encased in a ferret shell)
will never be considered "brainy."
