[Elecraft] RE:MARS

[FISCHER,GREG]

Found this in google.......

Typical MARS Frequencies, take a listen.
- MARS Member stations meet periodically in scheduled 
networks on military frequencies outside of the amateur 
bands. There are various types of networks and each 
accomplishes a specific goal. For example, Administrative 
Networks to take care of much of the day-to-day management 
of the program. Traffic Networks which exist solely to 
pass third-party traffic, and of course, Emergency 
Networks which are established to provide communication 
needs during periods of emergency. There are also 
Technical Nets and Training Nets.
- MARS nets operate in different modes. Many MARS nets 
meet between 4000 - 4050 Khz and 7300 - 7400 Khz. 
Generally network stations meet during the local 
mid-to-late-afternoon and/or early evening hours. You can 
identify NAVMARCORMARS Stations by their "NNNØ" prefix. 
Army MARS stations are identified by their "AA" (Alpha 
Alpha) prefixes, while Air Force MARS stations have the 
unique "AF" (Alpha Foxtrot) prefix.

Thank you for stopping by. We look forward to hearing from 
you.

Sincerely yours,
Bo G. Lindfors, NNNØASA
Chief, Navy-Marine Corps MARS
