[Elecraft] 2-30 MHz Transmit?

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

I think it's actually  "Military Affiliate Radio System", but your 
explaination is correct.

If you look at the official emblems, it is spelled out, although the words 
"Amateur" or "Auxilliary" are also commonly interchanged for "Affiliate".

(Another possibility is a connection with the Barsoomian Radio Society)
