My mail carrier delivered the January, 2006 issue of QST on December 24.
It carries an interesting article "Secret Agent Hams: Remembering Camp
X" by Gil McElroy VE3PKD. McElroy's piece mentions us that the camp was
also the location of a high-powered radio station known as "Hydra" and
the article states "Not surprisingly, hams had a central role in it all".

McElroy states that "Hydra was operated by former hams, recruited by
Camp X administrators who went looking ofr them specifically, using
prewar government listings to locate the best quality Amateur Radio
operators. He goes on to name some of them and goes on to quote
Lynn-Philip Hodgson, author of the book "Inside Camp X":

"...an amateur radio operator was an ideal candidate for handling
clandestine radio activity of any description, be it interception or the
actual transmitting of traffic. the radio amateur liked and understood
his hobby, he was good at solving technical problems and keeping
equipment running without seeking outside assistance. He was already
capable of sending and receiving Morse Code efficiently, and needed only
to be trained in the specialities of handling clandestine radio messages".

A number of photos are included in the article. The caption of one of
them should prove galling to the factually challenged Leonard Anderson.
It reads, "Bill Hardcastle VE3RY (right) reads the May 1942 issue of QST
at Camp X while Bob Rowan consults 'The Radio Amateur's Handbook'."

Today's mail brought the January, 2006 copy of CQ. An article on the
various voice modes mentions Fessenden's 1906 amplitude modulation feat.
The letters section of the same issue features one sent by Steve
Robeson K4YZ.

Happy New Year, Mr. Anderson.

Make that "feats", Dave, 'cause RF did a number of them.

The one most remembered is his Christmas Eve 1906 "broadcast" of voice
and music, which was received by both land stations and ships at sea.

That broadcast was repeated on New Year's Eve.100 years ago tonight!

But RF also had 2 way transatlantic voice communication working even
earlier.

Oh NO, Dave!

You didn't!

You mentioned....REALITY!

Funny how certain members of RRAP show up in QST and CQ on a
fairly frequent occassion discussing "policy" issues while others just
spam RRAP.

Sheeeesh.

73 and Happy New Year.

Isn't that the annual "antique" issue?

An article in QST states "Not surprisingly, hams had a central role in
it all."

Why am I not suprised?

McElroy states that "Hydra was operated by former hams, recruited by
Camp X administrators who went looking ofr them specifically, using

operators.

"Prewar government listings?" I thought Bush was the only President
guilty of such profiling?

"Best quality Amateur Radio operators?" The A-1 Operators was a
government list?

Yikes! That must have been in an ERA when the Democrats trusted
"thier" government. Oh, wait, wasn't that when the Dems had full
control of the government?

He goes on to name some of them and goes on to quote
Lynn-Philip Hodgson, author of the book "Inside Camp X":

Secret Agent Man!

Why wouldn't an amateur be reading an amateur publication? Do you thnk
QST would have included the photo where he's reading "Life?"

Would an amateur centered publication be posting the names of the
professional engineers associated with the project? Maybe that
wouldn't be self-serving?

Steve will do anything to get hisself into the spotlight, even forge
postings on RRAP. You would have thought he would have left all that
attention seeking behind when he left the orphanage, but its just a
part of who he is, now.

But it's not even a little bit funny when one RRAP member forges,
"Raped an old friend."

Why didn't you include that in your letter to CQ Magazine?

Steve has a lawyer?

That'll be news to Mark.

All Mark wants is an apology and Steve's promise not to bring up a
person's sexuality on RRAP.

All Steve has to do is come through.

Instead he's going to drag his name through the mudd on RRAP and in the
Michigan courts.
