Ya know that ‘MARS MOD’ you use to jeep your radio so you can talk on GMRS? Well, it’s really a thing. MARS, the Military Auxiliary Radio System, turned 100 last year. It’s changed some over that time, but it’s still all ham radio operators providing public service communications in affiliation with the Army and Air Force.
The ‘Army guy’, Paul English WD8DBY, and the ‘Air Force guy’, Dave Antry WD9HBA, were at the 2025 Dayton Hamvention®, and they talked to East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ about what MARS is today.
A chilling question: ‘Are we in a civil war by 2028?’ The answer might be more immediate than you think. Some believe the conflict has already begun. #CivilWar #Politics #2028 #CurrentEvents
