As a former phone patch operator for MARS (Military Affiliate Radio System) during Desert Storm/Shield I'm trying to keep this very important the program going. It's no secret that there are over 12,000 U.S. troops in Kuwait. Hard to believe, but there are no Phone Patch Operators there. I'm working on a possible way, with the help of Jim Sylvester, AAR2NP, the U.S. Army World Wide Phone Patch Coordinator, to accomplish this, but need help.
I know this isn't the proper forum for this request but don't know where else to turn. Please, if anyone knows the name, call sign, or email address of any Ham, (who is an American Citizen;) military or civilian that is presently operating in Kuwait City. Send it to me or Jim Sylvester [EMAIL PROTECTED] We will do our best do get that ham (if he/she so desires) certified as a U.S. Army Phone patch operator to help us with this challenge. In the past 9K2ZZ and 9K2JH were American Hams operating in Kuwait. Dr. Stanley Gerstein/WD2B/AAR2KU Col, USAR,( Ret.)
