[Qcwa] MARS in the 50s

[Bob Peters]

Great Stories, Mine goes back to 1959 at Dow AFB Bangor, Maine....

I received a complete Collins S Line through AF Mars  due  to  all the 
hours  I had  in and was 17....
Chased a young lady to Spokane, Wa  and  went to Vietnam in 1967  and came 
back to Spokane only
to find  no girl and no S Line...Come to find out she sold the S Line and 
30S1  to a local ham for
$700.00  What a steal.....I contacted the MARS Dir  at Fairchild AFB  and 
he went to the local HAM  and  took the gear back....
because I was staying in the service I let it  go back  to the MARS 
program...Never heard what the local ham did  to my X Girlfriend...
The storys  continue....

Best 73's all  from  20 degree Dallas TX  with snow on the ground...
