Quote from: Dani on September 20, 2018, 10:07:06 PMThis was the Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS). In the 1960's there were not many communication satellites, no internet, no nothing. Overseas telephone was by under sea cables. The MARS system allowed service members a few minutes of personal talk time with their family. There were many other MARS stations in use at the time, but Senator Goldwater's station paid for the domestic long distance telephone call once the link to his stateside station was established. This was before cell phones where any call outside your area code was charged as long distance. Other stations made a collect call to the service members home to complete the communication link.

Quote from: Michelle_P on September 25, 2018, 10:43:18 AMBE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT POSTING CALL SIGNS!Call signs point to your full name and address as filed with the FCC, all a matter of public record and easily found with a Google search. Posting a call sign here can lead to very unpleasant results.

Quote from: Danielle Kristina on October 04, 2018, 10:56:40 PMI won't post my call sign, but I will say that I'm a Texas station and can be heard regularly at the lower portion of the General Class segment of 75 meters.73
Quote from: Sarah1979 on October 05, 2018, 04:44:48 AMI've got my Buddipole with me, but I have to get some other parts to make it usable on 80 meters, currently it's stuck only being effective at 20m and up
