Hi, Rudy... Just to clarify... MARS is not the "Military Armament Research System". It stands for "Military Affiliate Radio System" Specially authorized Amateur Radio operators assisting with military communications needs. 73! de Scott, WAØCW
Sorry Rudy but the British singer Cliff Richard is NOT a ham. The founder of Dolby is RAY Dolby not Tony Dolby (G3TZH). Also it is very doubtful that Yuri Gargarin was licensed. I did some research some years ago and drew a blank. The callsign you give belongs to a different Yuri according to QRZ.com! Jim
hi Jim.... is not possibile that cliff richatd live now in USA and have put the license here? ok for Dolby, but the call of gagarin is corred, but in 2009 is get to a russian ham-radio ! best 73
Many on the list dropped their licenses or have been inactive well over a decade... Or are dead. How about a list showing the vibrancy of today? For example Woz was a ham...but hasnt been for 30 years plus.Are we supposed to follow his lead, or is ham radio an historical phase?
Scott, just to clarify your clarification - that is the older definition of the acronym MARS. It was changed not long ago (end 2009) to Military Auxiliary Radio System. This was intended to signify and focus a closer active relationship with the DoD / DHS / DoS. Here are links (from the MARS wiki) to the official directive, http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/465002p.pdf http://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/pdf/r25_6.pdf 73 de John - WØPV
hi .... John - WØPV your two links upside ..NOT work , please correct it . i UPDATE the list in my PDF article.... please tell me if now is correct ? best 73
Rudy, the links work here - maybe the gov't is blocking access to them from outside the USA (?) But look here instead, this is my source for those links (at the end of the page), a more open site, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Auxiliary_Radio_System 73 de John - WØPV
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/archive/amsat-bb/200209/msg00249.html This post by K2UBC from the 2002 AMSAT reflector disputes claims that Gagarin was a radio amateur. He references a conversation with another Russian Leo Labutin, UA3CR ham, who told him in no uncertain terms that Gagarin was not a ham.
i not see this two links... ok but K2UBC at the end say: So -- Was Gagarin UA1LO? My opinion (and it is only my opinion) is that based on the available evidence it's extremely unlikely that Gagarin was UA1LO. But I am not 100% certain and I am always looking for new "facts".
