Army MARS

Post by W7GMC »

The Army is looking for a few good men & woman!

Become a member of the Army Military Affiliated System.

Contact Ken, W7GMC Mars Call AAR8GN/T email: w7gmc@bresnan.net

You you need is a current "General Class Amateur Radio License", complete the following NIMS courses, IS-100.a, IS-200.a, IS-700.a and IS-800.b. And complete the Basic Army MARS training manual and run a MARS net. Pretty easy, plus have the ability to modify your radio to transmit out of band on the Army MARS frequencies.

Ok, what is the MARS mission:
