MARS, at least in my experience is about as realistic as tent-stretchers and/or 
polka-ddot paint.

I queried each service a few months ago, asking them if they could either tell 
me what frequencies I would have to use, OR asking them if they could tell me if 
my Elecraft K2 would work on the required frequencies:


Service		Comments
ARMY		Can not disclose frequencies, request forwarded to Maryland
                 MARS for action - No action
NAVY     	Maryland Director told me that the K2 wouldn't work because it
    		was low power and that Navy MARS used digital modes.
AIR FORCE	No reponse from National or Maryland
