Paul- I knew I would get a rise out of you when I wrote that post. It worked, didn't it!
1. Refer to Electronics Illustrated 1966 and 1967 articles by Wayne Green, about Radio Swan. Swan transmitted the same type of code, (It isn't CW, it was a code.) These things people are hearing today is the same thing. What Jim reported hearing, might be a near by ham, all depends on the 'type' of code in use. Since he did not give detailed information in his report I guessed at what he may have heard and compared it to my personal receptions and work history. BUT if you will spend time listening and not talking, you can hear some of the things I describe. 2. Go back in history to what the BBC did. (Do you even know what the BBC is?) To get a message to agents in Germany they used the BCB band to send a coded message in the audio part of the program. Just as is being done today! 3. Refer to Monitoring Times from 1998 to 2000. There was mention of drug dealers using AM radio to get a message to their agents. The CIA brings the drugs up through Mexico and central America. (Another reason for Trans-Texas highway being built.) 4. In 1996 there were students from Latin American countries, going to colleges in New England, whose fathers were in the drug trade in Colombia, and they used a code on normal broadcast radio frequencies, to get messages to their kids. This was on the TODAY SHOW and even DATE LINE has run stories about the same thing! 5. The Japanese in Los Angeles, during the 30's and 40's used AM radio stations in southern California to transmit to Jap subs of the coast in 1936 to 1944. It isn't as far-fecthed as you think. BOY!! you need to get into the habit of reading history. Just because you were not born until 2000 is no reason not to know about the radio hobbies! What do you do when your not on the radio? Surely you have lots of free time on your hands? Why not learn about radio propagation, history and electronics? The internet has a ton information about such topics. Why not spend some time on the ARRL web? You might just learn something. There are many things I have done and companies I have worked for that made transmitters for such use as I have described. Because of an open format on this list I can not (and will not) tell about such things. Willis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul B.
