DIAL-TONE Communications Filename: Morelli, Jacques S. Dial-Tone built his own crystal set when he was ten. By fourteen he was part of a CB net, and had his own ham station by the time he was sixteen. Dial-Tone made all his own equipment, buying parts with money earned washing cars. He saw the army as a means t0 furthering his education in his chosen field and quickly found that instead of a stepping stone, it was a goal in itself. Manning a radio in the field wasn't just passing time - it was a job with a purpose. "One of the scariest things that can happen to you out in the field is to lose contract with your base. That means you are ALONE. No artillery support, no air-strikes, no medivac, no extraction, NOTHING! Reinforcements don't advance until the man with the radio tells them to!" |
