Sorry JJ,
MARS is not amateur radio.
Even if it were, phone patches home to Mom are great morale boosters,
but they not "emergency planning".
Sorry Hans, MARS IS "Amateur Radio".
With the exception of a very few Active Duty personnel assigned to oversee
the program, every single person in all three branches of MARS are licensed
Amateur Radio Operators.
Prerequisite #1 for ALL branches is licensure in the Amatuer Radio
Service.

Congratulations. None of it changes the facts about MARS, however.
