Still waiting on your "Extra Lite out of the box", Lennie...Seems YOU are the one "unable"... And how's that application for Navy/MC MARS coming? "Unable" to do that too, no doubt... Steve, K4YZ In the grand scheme of things, I think not getting an amateur license, and getting put out of the US Marine Corps are magnitudes apart. Your mileage may vary. |

Yo Bleeper . . this thread brings up a question . . how many pieces of MARS traffic did your morphed version of T5/NØIMD handle? Yo spud, Amateur Radio Operators don't handle MARS traffic. However, the Marines did have trouble getting authorized to activate Navy MARS. So I requested that we activate an AF MARS station to provide MWR traffic for the Marines. In the space of two dits, the Navy authorized MARS use. An AF MARS authorization is written into each TALCE deployment. The Marines had NO difficulty getting "authorized". They did until the Air Force offered to handle the MWR traffic. They had trouble getting the schedule arranged for gateways and getting appropriate equipment to the deployed units. Callsigns and "authorization" were already in place. No, they had a local problem allowing it. Seems the Marines have a nasty habit of carrying combat equipment into combat areas as a first priority. MWR gear comes after that. One marine had a pallet of amateur radio gear, "enabled" by heavy airlift. Best of Luck. Back at ya! Don't need luck when you work smarter. |

Where does that leave you? With a DD214 that provides a nice income and the words "Honorable" on it. The DoD directives do indeed "enable" the MARS program. Do you disagree? Perhaps it was a DoS directive? DoJ...?!?! Steve, K4YZ What amazes me are the number of military retirees with a disability check and still capable of pulling in a full-time income from - work. |

If they don't mind a long ride, they take a boat. If they're needed a bit quicker, they take a plane. Airplanes typically require a runway, and Mogadishu had one. What they didn't have was atc and weather. Too bad the Marines aren't self-propelled. It would save everyone a lot of trouble. |

Do you agree with "Sorry Hans, MARS IS Amateur Radio" ? |
