MARS Cuts Ribbon on New Pentagon Station:
A military institution designed to provide emergency communications has
moved to new quarters in the Pentagon. On October 21, John G. Grimes,
the former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information
Integration, cut the ribbon on the new Military Affiliate Radio System
(MARS) station, now located on the fifth floor of the Pentagon. The
facility -- manned by the Pentagon Amateur Radio Club (PARC) -- is
packed with amateur radios, radiotelephone patches, computers and data
links. "This is a great facility, manned totally by volunteers," Grimes
told the crowd who came to see the new station. "It's a crucial
capability for our country." Read more here
