? I agree but Steven James Robeson, K4YZ, wrote it. ?See the quote
? marks up there?

? You were not present when Robeson was told of his obvious
? error...by several others. ?I posted the link to the DoD
? directive on MARS operations.

Robesin didn't know what the MOD was. Robesin didn't know what a Base
Support Team was. It was all about eavesdropping on "private" calls
between deployed pers and their stateside wives...

In order to join MARS and receive a
MARS call sign, one must be approved by a branch of the military service
for
that purpose and one must be a present, retired or family member of a
military member.

? You had best look up the various service branch MARS
? web pages and correct yourself on the above.

You are correct but this is a very insignificant point.

NOT to the military nor the particular MARS group.

No lie of Robesin's will be categorized as "insignificant..."

As if everyone here has read all of your posts over the last 10 years? I see
you like to flatter yourself.

No. No flattery is necessary. Brian Burke, Hans Brakob
and myself tried to correct Robesin but - as usual - he
refused to be corrected. That particular thread ran for
months. That quote was VERY familiar to ANYONE
seeing it at the time.

Anyone at all. Robesin's exact quote has become the flag of both MARS
and Amateur Radio stupidity.

Really. OMG, I thought MARS was a Top SECRET classified confidential and
highly tactical/strategic radio service that was used on different
frequencies than the ham bands so we couldn't hear what the military was
saying. Did the Russians know about this too?

You are writing gibberish again. MARS did not carry any
classified or secure communications nor was it "secret"
to any amateur years ago. I doubt ANY MARS station
ever carried classified communications.

When the Air Force deployed troops to Somalia to bring over the 10th
Mtn and others, the assigned AF MARS Call was classified until it was
activated. Fortunatley, the Air Force had robust enough
communications to not have to activate the callsign for AF personnel.
The USN was being stingy with MARS, and only when I offered to
activate the AF MARS for MWR calls for the USMC personnel did the USN
let go of a callsign for the location. Sad, but true.

In 1954, for example, the Tokyo MARS station was a two-
room office space at the FEC Hq building (the former
Japanese military Hq building during WW2, would later
revert back as the Japanese Self Defense Force Hq
when FEC Hq was moved to Fort Shafter, HI. MARS
got to use bits and pieces of RF transmitters on a very
low priority - if and only if it was available. I know this
as a member of the REAL tactical-strategic Army
station that served the FEC Hq at the time. In late 1955
the Tokyo MARS station got moved to Hardy Barracks
in west-central Tokyo and was permitted to get multi-
band beam antenna and more amateur-like equipment.

Where was Robesin? Miccolis?

The predecessor to MARS
? was born before WW2 in the US Army, a quaint idea to get US
? amateurs involved in hopes that some "new technology" in radio
? might be tried out or shown to the US Army. ?As far as radio
? design for the Army is concerned, that did not appear to happen.

It only served to put a few service people in touch with their loved ones
during WW2, korea and VN.

NOT "during" WW2. NOT "during" the active part of the
Korean War. The Korean War entered a permanent Truce
period in July 1953 and that has NOT ended to this day.

In 1954 and beyond, there were sufficient voice telephone
circuits available commercially to enable "loved ones" to
communicate directly with military personnel...IF and only
IF those personnel were free to use such commercial
communications. Officers and other higher-rank civilians
were able to do so but not the vast majority of the rest.

Where was Robesin? Miccolis?

Red Cross messaging was available (on a low priority
to military comms) and usually sent over non-busy
TTY circuits after the end of a "radio day" (which was

RADAY.

about 2 to 3 AM local Tokyo time). This was seen at
ADA Control center where I spent a month filling in for
a regular center E-5 who was on emergency leave.
During that time one of the TTY relay tape handlers
on midnight shift got to see a copy of a Red Cross
message saying he had just become a father. Proud
new papa was then chewed out by the Officer in Charge
of TTY relay for "looking at unauthorized messages!"
That OIC was later reprimanded by the signal battalion
commander for that...and wound up on the immediate
list for return to civilian life as a reservist, something
that was the Army's equivalent to "downsizing" after
the Truce.

Robesin was never an "OIC" therefore he could not have been the actual
culprit. However, he claims to have been an "A" NCOIC.

MARS *is* given credit for its messaging during the
Vietnam War morale support. You can find that at the
US Army Center for Military History on Signal Operations
during the Vietnam War. The DoD dates the 'Nam War
from 1965 to 1973 and is over 30 years in the past.

Robesin was not there.

Then this "new technology" as you put it was all

forgotten due to the other big secret that I think you're holding back on:

Roswell.

And the +/- gravity amplifiers.

Yikes!!!

Robesin is an Alien. That explains much...

After the saucer crashes, the military considered ham radio to be relatively
low tech so MARS was relegated to a low place on the military budget, but I
know you must deny this :-))

You are nuts.

Soy nuts.

Well, I might suggest you avoid the "f" word when posting. Remember,
whatever you post here is and always will be accessible to everyone who
cares to research you on usenet. Do you have grandchildren?

No. My grand-nephew is presently serving in Iraq as a PFC
with a heavy-equipment moving and repair unit. I am proud
of his voluntary service and know damn-****ing-well how
he and his buddies "talk" as one who went before him.

Robesin's USMC didn't use the "f" word, according to Robesin. This is
how I know that Robesin wasn't a Marine.

Authoring posts like
this with the "f" word will show them how little class their ancestor had.
Ever think of that, bud?

You've been taking lessons from the Nun of the Above?

Drop the ANONYMOUS Sister act with knuckle-spanking
ruler. One transgendered sissy in here is enough. Two
is way too many.

Fortunately for Robesin, none of his progeny were able to read/write.
Excrement eating will me completely missed by them, thank goodness.

However, I think we all can agree it will be 20K times worse for offshoots
of kb9rqz (I feel sorry for them already!).

No, that's WRONG. Given the posting examples of one
who managed to get the callsign of K4YZ (there are no
psychological tests of radio amateurs), HIS progeny
are probably carrying his gene material. That is NOT
GOOD for the human race. Or for the USMC.

True enough. However, I'm not so sure that any of Robesin's DNA has
survived...

Steppinwolfe, why go on with your ANONYMITY? You
don't fool anyone. You are simply ignorant of radio
communications in general, certainly so for the USA
which has a lot of communications history available
for the learning. Get some help with your "belief" in
aliens and flying saucers. Or go infiltrate "Area 51"
and get arrested for trespassing on US military
property...you will then get some "help" on your
crazy belief trauma.

LA-

I'm thinking that Steppin Wolf never served...
