Sure, they'd be grossly negligent if they didn't. I'll just bet that
Osama Baby has at least looked at CW for his purposes and that since
9/11 our guys have ramped up their volume of poking around for it. So
yes, the feds certainly do have an ongoing and abiding interest in the
use of CW, one-way for their purposes and/or otherwise.
However, amateur radio isn't the military. We don't have the same mission - or
the same resources.
Even if we did I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
So, some olde-tyme hamme can say he "shot bears for navel
intelligence" and that be okay. Navel intel is fine as long as
person is for morse code.
Do you mean the pictures taken by W3RV? Guess what - they're real. Like it
or
not, civilian contractors do go out on US Navy ships. And they do see - and
photograph - some pretty unusual stuff.
Har, I forgot about that, you did see some of those shots I took
didn't ya?
Yep. Some of them. Quite impressive, actually, both the photography and the
subject.
Geez that pile of old photos was a real trip back huh?
Oyez.
Gotta love the way the Putz has twisted 'em into "Naval intel" BS.
Bad pun of "navel" noted.
Another example of the Putz in his seven-yer-old mode. Which he
consistently drops into when he can't find an adult comment to post.
No
such thing, they were typical on-the-road personal unclassified
snapshots and I never claimed otherwise.
That's true!
Every time the Soviets buzzed a carrier it became a tourist event,
bloomin' hoot. Kodak could have made money with a flight deck photo
processing kiosk after those flybys.
I wasn't a contractor, I was a direct employee of the U.S. Department
of Defense and an offical civilian guest of the skipper while I was
aboard.
Always nice to be friends with the guy in charge.
Nah, it was just another bit of Naval tradition, DoD civilian
professionals were treated as officers and were expected to
reciprocate the courtesies received. I had to introduce myself to both
the skipper and the air boss and join them for dinner in officer's
mess on Friday evenings, etc. I knew nothing about any of it when I
logged aboard the first time. A crusty Chief Yeoman sat me down in his
office and went thru the list of what I had to do and not do.
The Putz never managed to be either, his types did my drudge
work for me for cheap. Steerage dwellers.
Of course such activities are also irrelevant to amateur radio policy.
