Barry Goldwater used his ham radio station K7UGA and MARS to provide radio link and phone patches between servicemen and their families in the states.
Big defender of Hams in the Senate.
RIP and THANK YOU!!
Yes he did. I had the chance to talk to him and Gen. Curtis Lemay back in 1960 I think it was. I was running the MARS station at LSU back then. We were running a BC 610 at that time. Gen. Lemay had our first ssb rig sent to us so we could use sideband.
