BSF,

Thanks for your work. Back in the day, prior to email and cell/sat phone technology, when the turnaround time for a USPS letter was measured in weeks, the only other way the GIs had to make contact with loved ones was with the HAM MARS affiliates. Screw TIME.

I've been a licensed ham operator since 1992, upgraded to the Extra class one year to the date of my Novice license, and I've been in Army MARS for about 5 years now.
