one how does it serve the interest of the ARS

The ARS is a technical service, alledgedly charged with maintaining a pool
of trained radio operators, to provide emergency communications, advance the
radio art, contribute to international goodwill, and advance their skills in
communications and technical phases of the art.

Tsk, Tsk, TSK! It also includes FAKING a required mailing
address to the FCC attempting to fool them into getting one
state's callsign prefix. It also includes FAKING a bunch
of "clubs" and gobbling up callsigns for those "clubs,"
none of which seem to have existed in reality. Roughly
a dozen of them.

So, I hope Mikey is enjoying the warm, comfortable
weather at his Hawaii "home," a perfect spot for
the "RF Commandos" to practice field manuevers!

Hup, too, tree, foah...march, march...beep, beep.

Aloha,
