Considering the changes/upgrades in communications, the challenge now lies in the complexity of setting up and establishing communications. Everything is computerized and technology is changing so fast. By the time I finished the Echo course, through Sage, Language School and SERE there was already new equipment on the team that I had not seen.
With the -137, HF commo has changed. You can damn near drag a 30' wire behind you and make commo on the move with a low probablity of being detected, if that was a concern in todays combat situations. Although, there where days (and nights) in Max Gain doing single channel HF data that I wished I had known morse code to burn my message through.

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air with all our might and all our strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, What is our aim? I answer in one word: Victory Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Winston Churchill
