It's about time that gov't - military is conducting a nationwide communications test to evaluate continuity capability in case of a massive electric & communication failure. Unusual timing, or may be not, in light of this week's N Korean military launch of their satellite overhead (and recent claim of a hydrogen bomb test), frequent gov't news about EMP / electrical grid cyber attack vulnerabilites, and NASA'S announcement of an incoming asteroid that could pass within 11,000 miles this March. Oy, it's Always something...

Good deal, glad they are doing something to encourage HF radio as it is the one mode of communications that can work anywhere without commercial infrastructure. At the rate things have been going, nearly everyting has become dependent on phones, satellite links and GPS.

US Army MARS
Home

MARS stands for Military Auxiliary Radio System. We are headquartered at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and assigned to the Headquarters, United States Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM).

MARS is a Department of Defense sponsored program, established as a separately managed and operated program by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The program consists of licensed amateur radio operators who are interested in military communications on a local, national, and international basis as an adjunct to normal communications.

MARS has a long and proud history of providing world-wide contingency emergency communications during times of need. The combined three service MARS programs (Army, Air Force, and Navy-Marine Corps) volunteer force of over 5,000 dedicated and skilled radio operators is the backbone of the MARS program. Our civilian volunteers continued unselfish support of our mission keeps Army MARS Proud, Professional, and Ready.

The last couple of years I’ve made contact with the Pentagon and even got a QSL card from them. Their call sign is Whiskey Alfa Romeo... WAR.

I was overseas in the 70s and called home one night to talk to my wife. After I said something I had to say “Over” so the operator could un key the mic. Well, it wasn’t a good night. My mother in law answered and the conversation went like this.

Me-”Can I speak to ......? Over.”

MIL- “She’s not here. Over.”

Me-”Where is she? I told her I’d call her today. Over.”

MIL-”She wants a divorce. Over.”

Me-”What? Over.”

Long pause

Me-”I’ll call her tomorrow. Goodbye. Over.”

Turns out it was the best news I’d ever heard considering her.

Hmmm. Just like the exercises they were having when Sandy Hook and Riverside just happened to happen?

If an EMP hits would planes fall out of the sky?

If so, it could be a way to get rid of all the Presidential candidates, if it came when they were all flying...
