If MARS required amateur radio to exist, then it would not need the

The FCC doesn't define MARS or regulate MARS or anything else

MARS is MILITARY. The Department of Defense has explained it.

Have you found out what an AN/FRC-93 is yet?

3rd Marine Division is based on Okinawa. You said you were there.

OK, so we've established you were never on Okinawa.

Sheeeeeesh....what an idiot.

Nursie's self-proclaimed "career" is NOT the SUBJECT.

But you MADE it the "SUBJECT", Lennie, right up until THIS post, in

Nice try to shift the focus off of your faux pas.


The SUBJECT is the claim that "MARS is amateur radio.


Uh huh...


That's what the SUBJECT line is...

Got Willie caught under the rocking chair again, and it hurt.


Always a problem to the well-endowed...

No Amateur Radio = No MARS.

Your strict dependence upon published directives would have made you very
popular in the Third Reich, Lennie, but it's no good here.


Okay, so explain the 35 print pages required by Part 97, Title 47 C.F.R.

Nowhere in those printed - and very official - U.S. amateur radio
regulations
is MARS (Military Affiliate Radio System) defined by the FCC.

MARS isn't authorized to use amateur radio frequencies.

The "M" in MARS stands for MILITARY.

MARS exists through DoD Directive 4650.2 with particular military
service branch regulations AR 25-6, AFI 33-106, USN NTP8(C).

MARS nets and stations can communicate directly with other
MARS stations and with federal authorities using military radio
equipment and military radio personnel.

Without Directive 4650.2 there would be NO MARS.

MARS is NOT amateur radio.


Now...YOU brought up my USMC service and made insinuating comments
vis-a-vis same. I gave you MORE than enough information on now to verify that
which YOU claim is UNverified.


No. Tell us all about those "hostile action" incidents, the where
and when.

No one can "verify" things that don't exist. Outside of your
imagination, that is... :-)

So NOW you're ducking out from acknowedging the FACTS.


"Facts?" Fantasy facts?

Of course. If you imagined it, it HAPPENED! :-)

Sure it would.

Any authorized interaction between the Armed Forces and any civilian
entity requires that it be authorized by appropriate headquarters. The Red
Cross, Civil Air Patrol, US Coast Guard Auxiliary, etc etc are "civilian"
organizations, yet there are MILITARY regulations that enable interaction
between the Armed Forces and those entities.

Are you telling me that those organizations wouldn't exist without a
"military document creating and regulating it"...?!?!

I understand that YOUR point is that MARS is a program promulgated BY the
Armed Forces.

The FACTS are that MARS needs those civilian operators to make the program
work.

The FACTS are that almost all of the persons running the program are NOT
military personnel and are NOT on the payroll of DoD to be there.

The FCC doesn't define MARS or regulate MARS or anything else
about MARS.


It doesn't have to.

MARS is MILITARY. The Department of Defense has explained it.


Sure it is.

And without licensed Amateur Radio operators to "staff" the program with,
it wouldn't be able to function. It would be "defunct".

Have you found out what an AN/FRC-93 is yet?


Have you been issued an NNN0xxx/T callsign yet?

How about a KG6xxx callsign?

How does it pertain to Amateur Radio and it's interaction with the MARS
program...???

Why do you find it necessary to try and redirect when you know you are in
a corner?

Not by a documented pathological liar like you, Lennie. Not in this life

Now...How's that MARS application coming?

Passed that "Extra Lite" out of the box yet?

How about that Part 15-legal station you were going to put on 20 meters?

Or perhaps you'd like to regale us with more of your exploits as a student
pilot in the 50's? You certainly got your tailed rocked on when you tried ot
demonstrate your knowledge about current NAVAID systems and CAP's active
aircraft inventory, yet you continue to denigrate my licensure as a pilot.
That's available on the Internet.

Then we can move along to your investigation as to wheter or not my
"service claims" are valid or not. You've certainly been provided more than
enough information to get THAT right by now. That's available on the
Internet, too.

And while you're at it, please tell us once again how many pieces of

The United States government put up a web page referencing

The Veterans Administration has a web page referencing the

Now, now, you're still doing the personal attack thing. I was never
a "radio clerk." :-)

MOS 281.6, Microwave Radio Relay Operations and Maintenance
Supervisor [the dot-six in that old MOS nomenclature stood for
supervisor]. Also brevet to Fixed Station Operations and Maintenance
Supervisor as a team leader at ADA before the microwave equipment
arrived. The Pacific Stars & Stripes military newspaper checked up
on that when they did an interview on me for their 10 November 2002
edition (in their archives section on the 'web).

ADA relayed about 220 thousand TTY messages a month in 1955.
Since ADA had 36 to 43 transmitters on at any one time, some of
them SSB with 8 to 12 TTY circuits and three transmitters were
doing 4-TTY-channel time-division multiplexing, the total estimate
I wrote long ago is still an estimate based on 9-out-of-12 days at
the station and 8 hour shifts. Any way you slice it, nursie, that's
a LOT of message traffic...and every shift supervisor is responsible
for keeping those messages going out.

Had you ever done any military communications, you would under-
stand that. But, you didn't, so you don't. All you can do is try to
intimidate others, bluff and bluster to make yourself far more
important than you were in real life. Not good, not healthy to do
that, nursie.

But, you can't control yourself, can you? [no emotional stability]
Lack of control is very bad for emergency work.

Memorable. And I'm not refering to Memorial Day.

Okay, verify, by references and proof, those "hostile actions."

and find out that you were, once again, proven wrong.

Sure you were.

You claimed that YOU were responsible for handling "1.2 million" pieces of
traffic during your tenure at ADA.

Technicians and maintenence personnel do not handle traffic. They fix the
boxes that the radio clerks use to pass the traffic.

MOS 281.6, Microwave Radio Relay Operations and Maintenance...(SNIP)


YaddaYaddaYadda.

If YOU handled the traffic, then you are misleading us as to what your
real MOS was.

Supervisor [the dot-six in that old MOS nomenclature stood for

Still doesn't wash Lennie.

You were either responsible for the maintenence of the equipment or you
were responsible for the operation of it, ie: traffic handling.

Had you ever done any military communications, you would under-
stand that. But, you didn't, so you don't.


I did and I do.

You were either a radio clerk or a technician...now which was it?

All you can do is try to
intimidate others, bluff and bluster to make yourself far more
important than you were in real life. Not good, not healthy to do

Hey, Lennie...YOU set the precedent, fella! That paragraph RIGHT THERE

Oh...Really?

Lennie, how many MARSGRAMS have you ever delivered?

How many phonepatches have you conducted for AFLOAT units?

How many MARSGRAMS have you initiated?

I ask because I had the opportunity to handle a LOT of MARSGRAMS over the
years, and almost every one I sent wound up being delivered by a volunteer
member. I know this since most of the ones I ever sent usually generated a
reply message...And the initiating station was almost always an individual's
station.

Also, I had the opportunity to be on the AFLOAT end of the patches. Don't
suppose you'd care to guess who handled the Stateside end of the patches, would
you?

The FCC doesn't define MARS, never has. MARS is MILITARY.


I am still trying to figure out why you keep trying to reference the FCC
when I've never said WHAT the FCC's "definition" is.

You made the "hostile action" claim. YOU reference it.


Who's talking about "hostile action", Lennie...?!?! YOU said that I never

Afterall I WAS able to "substantiate" some of YOUR claims about your
"CV"...it didn't take much...Your windiness and brogaddacio led me to the

The FACTS are that MARS needs those civilian operators to make the program
work.


For interest's sake, I did a bit of research on the Web, and found the
following information on the home page for the US Military Alliliate
Radio System:

http://www.asc.army.mil/mars/default.htm

******

"MARS is a Department of Defense sponsored program, established as a
separately managed and operated program by the Army, Navy, and Air
Force. The program consists of licensed amateur radio operators who
are interested in military communications on a local, national, and
international basis as an adjunct to normal communications."

"MARS has a long and proud history of providing world-wide auxiliary
emergency communications during times of need. The combined three
service MARS programs (Army, Air Force, and Navy-Marine Corps)
volunteer force of over 5,000 dedicated and skilled amateur radio
operators is the backbone of the MARS program. The benefit of MARS
membership is enjoying an amateur radio hobby through the
ever-expanding horizon of MARS. Our affiliate members' continued
unselfish support of our mission keeps Army MARS Proud, Professional,
and Ready."

Note the phrase "The program consists of licensed Amateur Radio
Operators" above.


******

"How to Join Army MARS

Eligibility

The applicant must -

Be 17 years of age or older. (Signature of parent or legal guardian is
required when an applicant is under 18 years of age.)
Be a United States Citizen or resident alien. (Possess a valid amateur
radio license issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or
other competent U.S. Authority.)
Possess a station capable of operating on MARS VHF and/or HF
frequencies.
Agree to operate a minimum of 12 hours per calendar quarter with 6
hours being on VHF and or HF networks."

Note again the requiremant for participants to be licensed US radio
amateurs.

******

"Benefits of Membership

Add to the enjoyment of your amateur radio hobby through the expanded
horizon of MARS.

Join a group of dedicated fellow radio amateurs participating in
meaningful public service.

Become part of the Army, Navy-Marine Corps, or Air Force MARS
worldwide communications system. There are Army MARS stations in
Japan, Korea, the Trust Territories, Hawaii, the Virgin Islands,
Puerto Rico, Central America, Alaska, Germany, Africa, and the
continental United States.

Increase your communications skills and capabilities. Selected
correspondence courses in communications - electronics subjects are
available free to MARS members from their respective affiliated
service after completion of six months active membership. Qualified
Army MARS members may apply for such courses at the Army
Correspondence Course Program web site.

Operate on specially assigned military radio frequencies in voice,
teletype, and packet modes of communications."

Once again, note the references to the amateur radio hobby above.

******

From these paragraphs, and the remainder of valuable information on
this web site, I'd conclude that the MARS program relies upon the
Amateur community to make it work, as it is currently defined.
Without amateur operators, the MARS program would have to affiliated
with some other communications group to carry their traffic.

This thread is, however, hopelessly mired in a battle over semantics.

Is MARS amateur radio? Well, no, No more so than Amateur Radio is
MARS. It is a military radio service, defined and mandated by the
military and operating on military frequencies outside of the Amateur
bands..

But, without amateur operators to affiliate their communications
resources with, the MARS program would not be able to operate as
currnetly defined - it exists as a partnership between the military
operators and their 5,000-plus volunteer Amateur operator
counterparts.

Quite similar to the CFARS program in Canada, and perhaps others
around the world.

Just my $.02
