In doing some research on Civil Defense I ran across the CONELRAD stations.
In Wikipedia's entry there is a statement that hams were required in 1957
and later (presumably until 1963 at least) to check that a major broadcast
station was on the air.

Any old-timers remember this requirement? Was it regularly done by working
hams?
hmm I had heard of the Conelrad system although being born in 1964 it
hardly applied to me

although why would you want all ham of the airs suddenly seems strange
but then so does code testing

Direction finding.
that works if and only if you know where KB9RQZ is located. the logic
of the bans on ars operations that were imposed for the the world war
have always had a rather odd nonlogic about them

Hams had to go off the air in WWII, from right after Pearl Harbor till November
1945.
yes I know

Practice that code!
no

What if the 'tard boy KB9RQZ screws up and mentions his QTH, or (most likely) decides
to communicate with the enemy?

I'm certain a lot of things just don't make sense to you.

a true traitor would simply ignore the rule (except it might well
result in his death

true enough

but allowing one emeny to complete dirupt one life is rather likeke
letting the terorists win

Practice that code!
why?

I've a feeling that WWII pretty much disrupted everyone's life.

a feeling you? I doubt that

but I know WW2 was a hardly a disruption i the life of any member of
my family
now the horse theat grand dad owned I suspect would said otherwise if
they known why they were being asked to work harder than say 1940 of
course most of my family was the wrong age for that war may have helped
it being more of non intrusive indeed the only affect we would notice
was the shut down in the ars a little problem with gas rationaing some
minorthing like that

Well, in 1960 there was no KB9RQZ, but I'm sure the Russkis could've
located some Callbooks if they were interested :-).

Of course today we have Broadband-over-power-lines and IBOC so any kind
of long-range direction-finding on HF is presumed impossible.

indeed that also means they can't use me for HF RDF
