Let's visit the FBI!


 

I came across a fascinating link to declassified FBI documents today, all about assessments of amateur radio as a potential intelligence source about the then Soviet Union.

The very first page I looked raised a wry smile.  The FBI were clearly unimpressed by the fact that politics is rarely of any on-air interest in radio, and that all we do is talk about the hobby!



The FBI might have been more fruitful in examining how amateur radio transcends differences, and brings people together.
