But it is old fashioned and obsolete. Tango Sierra.

Ham Radio is just a great hobby! I have enjoyed the hobby now for 49 years (50 in January next).

Many, many GI's in Vietnam were able to "call" home from some pretty remote locations within Vietnam thanks to a bunch of Hams calling themselves "MARS" (Military Affiliate Radio Stations). Each transmission in the States oe Vn ended with "over", so the Hams would know when to switch from transmit to receive, LOL.......nothing private at all then :) It was free of charge except for the last bit, from the closest Hams kitchen phone to the GI's family via Ma Bell.

Can you imagine saying "Bye, Honey, I love you, OVER" with a bunch of people listening?

Anyhow, this decent act of citizenship from the Hams was appreciated, and is fondly remembered by grateful Vets.
