But to say there was none used at all, anywhere in the US military is a different thing. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Changing the subject. No he didn't. Just pointed out that YOU tried to change the parameters to meet your rants again...Didn't work. And you didn't see any "morse code modes" at ADA...Unless, of course, you're lying to us again.... Long-distance point-to-point communications bore the brunt of ALL military branchs' message traffic to an amount of GREATER than a million messages a month. What's interesting is that you have to qualify the statement as "long-distance point-to-point communications" - because Morse Code was then still being used *extensively* by the US Navy, by the maritime radio services, by aircraft and by many other radio services such as press services. "Extensively?!?" HOW DO YOU KNOW? :-) Sweetums, I WAS PART OF IT. Liar. By your own documentation you were nothing more than a radio mechanic. You never held "radio operator", "message center", or other similar OPERATOR MOS's. Army station ADA, as assigned to Far East....(SNIP) Same rant. Still irrelevent. Sweetums, that "extensively" is just your wishful thinking. Of course there was SOME morse being used by all branches in 1953. But, HOW MUCH? YOU DON'T KNOW! YOU WERE NEVER IN. YOU NEVER DID IT FOR THE MILITARY. He is as likely to know as you are, Lennie. He has the same resources at his disposal to "research" as you do. And it was on fixed, predetermined frequencies, using equipment most individuals could not afford to buy. Tsk, that's called PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS, sweetums. When one is IN the Cold War and trying NOT to let it develop into a nuclear confrontation, one uses absolutely the BEST stuff to "get the message through." OH WOW! Now Lennie prevented World War Three! ! ! ! And it was *not* the kind of communications that make up the vast majority of amateur radio communications. Don't misdirect, sweetums. YOU started this thread with an emotional message about "morse code in the window" at a CANADIAN MILITARY museum. Try to stay within a few light-years of the subject. He's a lot closer than you are, Your Lyinghsip. At some point, anyway. The US Navy was still using Morse Code long after the beginning of the 1950s. HOW DO YOU KNOW? YOU DIDN'T SERVE. So, by YOUR logic, a guy who spent 2 years on KP knows more about Morse Code usage in the Armed Forces than Jim Miccolis! So was the Coast Guard. HOW DO YOU KNOW? YOU DIDN'T SERVE. So, by YOUR logic, a guy who spent 2 years on KP knows more about Morse Code usage in the Armed Forces than Jim Miccolis! The REAL QUESTION, Lennie, is HOW DO YOU know...?!?! You were NEVER a military radio operator, and yet you "served" in the Army. OH! OH! ERROR! MISTAKE! First of all, your buddie and pal, Stevie he say that "MARS IS amateur radio!" Tsk. MARS' first letter in that acronym means MILITARY. And the SECOND letter is AFFILIATE...As in affiliated with the Amateur Radio Service...From which this MILITARY program draws it's operators. And Lennie...what MARS calls have YOU held? I was NNN0VVU from 1977 to 1982. I was a guest op briefly for NNN0MOQ in 1980, then CHOP of NNN0MOF in 1981 and ANCOIC of the Okinawa Island-Wide MARS Program in that same time frame. I was also AFA1OQ from 1983 to 1987. I joined ARMY MARS briefly in 1999 just before my daughter passed...AAT4SA. Secondly, check with a REAL MARS civilian volunteer. You will find out that the military GIVES them radio goodies. No need to "buy." BBBWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHA ! ! ! !! ! ! ! ! MARS allows participants who have ALREADY met certain PARTICIPATION goals to draw equiment from surplus stock! In other words, you operate YOUR gear on MARS assignments BEFORE you EVER get to "go shopping"... ! ! ! ! And MARS "issues" of surplus radios dwindled to less than a trickle YEARS AGO! ! ! ! BBBWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA ! ! ! ! ! ! Military already bought the stuff and used it. Be NICE to MARS folks, Jimmie, maybe they'll GIVE you an AN/FRC-93 for nothing; it's a Collins KWM2 Commercial transceiver with a military nameplate. And most likely they never will. Nor are they about to issue any other gear to anyone who hasn't already established dedicated participation to warrant ANY "equipment issue". Big snip of usual divergant rhetoric... For over half a century (actually, since before WW2) the brunt of messaging in the military has been done by modes OTHER than morse code. Even if true, (it's not) so what? HOW DO YOU KNOW? YOU'VE NEVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY. What does serving in the Armed Forces have to do with it, Lennie? YOU constantly insist that since EVERYTHING you could possibly want to know about "radios" , military or otherwise, is on the net, it's not necessary for you to be a licensed Amateur to know about Amateur policy issues. However your FREQUENT errors, including the ones above vis-a-vis MARS is GLARING PROOF that your LACK OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE make you ill-prepared, yea incompetent, to make INFORMED opinions on the matter... Yet you still bombard this NG with tons of rants pontificating on matters you are't qualified to discuss. You're argument says that since most US Navy ships stopped relying on the wind for propulsion long ago, nobody should own a sailboat today, even for "a hobby pursuit, a recreation, something done on free time for enjoyment." Sweetums, this newsgroup is NOT about BOATING. It's "NOT" about a LOT of things that YOU feel free to discuss at length when the mood strikes you. But you do it anyway. Anderson, you keep delivering corroborating evidence to my claims of your ignorance and incompetence in Amateur Radio (and MARS) issues, and for that I thank you! What a PUTZ! Steve, K4YZ |
