Which reminds me ... again.  :-) Does anyone know if MARS is still in
business?  MARS is/was the Military Auxiliary Radio Service (or
System, I'm a bit hazy on the acronym), and provided a radio link
between soldiers and the Stateside phone network.  Has this service
been declared outmoded, or are they still doing their good work?
