	Armed Forces Radio and Television Services
		AFRS programs during the war proved enormously popular with the troops, and were made financially possible largely through the contributions of radio and film stars who donated their time regularly without charge.
		By the end of the war, there were nearly 300 AFRS radio stations operating worldwide (though that number had decreased to only sixty some four years later).
		Armed Forces Television (AFT) got its start at Limestone Air Force Base, Maine, in 1953, and after much success in helping to reduce AWOLs, court martials, and the divorce rate at this military installation, AFT was officially joined with the AFRS in 1954 to become the AFRTS--the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.

	Mobile/Cellular Technology - Swedish Armed Forces Radio/Voice/Data Network - Marconi PLC
		One radio station is designated as "master" and the others synchronise to it, scanning on a common set of frequencies and listening on each frequency for a call request.
		As all the radio stations are scanning the same set of frequencies at the same time and the calling station knows what frequency the called station is listening on, link set-up is faster and on-air time shorter than for a conventional asynchronous HF radio scheme.
		With asynchronous systems, radio receivers at different ends of the HF link scan round the common set of frequencies, stopping on each for a set period of time to determine if a link request is being made on that frequency.
