Collins had the best gear and probably still does if you can afford it. The Japanese just have good easy to use gear at a great price. Being a spec 4 I got to...
But, and it is a big "but", the Collins gear was for the most part in the supply system, so parts were easier to get when time was not a factor. Sure made a...
I never got into the eqiptment types so I don't know what HI had. The only time (except in occassional car shows) that I saw an Edsel in MINT CONDITION was...
Oops, memory loss, actually it was a FT101, nice rig even though it had 11 meters on it but eventually suffered from the damp envirement in the south. An...
I recall a story from WWII about a guy mailing home and entire jeep part by part. Probably the same everywhere/time, as a joke (he said later)a guy at my...
So as not to cause future problems I will not use the person's name. One of the NCOICs I had was about to ETS. When he became the NCOIC he had requested two...
AB8AAD and foward were in our net so I'm sure they used A7USA too. I think I recall (if I'm not mixing this up with AB8AX) that AAD forward lost their antenna...
That was a neat idea usiing the window screen. If it sounded like someone was coming through the window to steal your beers you could key the mike and giggle...
Thanks, I looked on amazon.comand they have the book listed but in limited availability. As to A7's signal strength, I was listening to A7USA talking to our...

Hi Dave I was in MARS in '71 and '72 (AB8AN Can Tho and AB8AV Vung Tau) and I didn't know the names of any stateside operators. One of the few things I...
Dave, The answer to your question about who were Ops in 68-69 may be in the book, Mars, Calling Back to The World - Do U have a copy ? If not I can research in...
I haven't seen any mention of mars station, in search, of A7USA in located in Ft. Lewis. It was the best (strongest) stateside contact we ever had. At least...
Hi Phil, Good to hear from you. I arrived at EFD in March 70 slated to take GVN which became official about June 70. I, too, do not know who was GVN prior to...
... Not sure now who was N0GVN before you, Jack, but Jim Bogue sent me from N0EFD down to III-MAF to go aboard (IIRC, the /USS/Hope/) in Fall of '69, and the...

OK RW, I KIND of get it. ;<) don't worry about finding the other ops. We have an email thread going on elsewhere about MARS on Sanctuary, etc. I'm sharing your...
I recently received the large scrapbook from the estate of "Mama" Jane Purcell ( AA6RGM/K6RGM ) containing many photos of late 60s and early 70s photos and ...
Tim, I wouldn't remove Sanctuary from the active MARS station list as we must have relayed RTTY traffic to and from on the in-country net. And as Wayne stated,...
