There were a couple of guys there who had retired at age 55 (mandatory at the time)and were rehired as civilian employees. They both had 2nd class radiotelegraph licenses on the wall and had been active in CW State Police netswhich were long gone before I hired in. They used a transmitter which had a 4-1000A in the final. I have no idea what that transmitter was.73 de Mike W9OJ-----Original Message-----From: cw-bounces at mailman.qth.net <cw-bounces at mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of Richard KnoppowSent: Wednesday, June 9, 2021 4:42 PMTo: cw at mailman.qth.netSubject: Re: [CW] The FBI CW Radio Network    Its a vague memory but I think there were several state police radio networks in the U.S. AFAIK these were voice but there may well have been some CW. There were state and interstate Teletype networks but these were wire. There is considerable history to the police use of radio. Many departments were resistant to it at first.______________________________________________________________CW mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/cwHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:CW at mailman.qth.netCW List ARCHIVES: http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/cw/Unsubcribe send email tocw-unsubscribe at mailman.qth.netSubscribe send email to cw-subscribe at mailman.qth.netSupport this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html=30=
