And since you can ba an amateur without being in MARS, yet cannot be in MARS without being an Amateur.......... Her is something from from http://www.ieway.com/~billw/wamars.htm which seems to contradict that the MARS people aren't involved in emergency work. Quote start: In times of emergencies, whether local, regional, or national, you will find MARS radio operators handling logistics and emergency communications. A part of our membership is equipped to "go portable" with radio and computer equipment to help with health and welfare radio traffic handling. During the recent flooding, members assisted local authorities relaying messages from families to their relatives and friends in regards to their situations. After the earthquakes in California, members also handled messages from the earthquake victims to others outside the area. All phone systems were disabled or overloaded and the only efficient means of communication was by radio. Members of the MARS program were there to lend a hand. NNN0ZSJ / NNN0GCC Five Quote end. So what is it guys. Is this person "innacurate? While MARS "isn't involved in emergency work", we might read http://www.marsgateway.net/docs/AR25-6.pdf and sneak a peek at Chapter 1 paragraph 6, sentence a. Let me know what it says. ;^) - Mike KB3EIA - There you go again Mike, upsetting the apple cart with facts. It seems that some just can't except the fact that amateur radio and the military have a close relationship and the military does accept amateur radio as a valuable service when needed, but not cell phones. |
