Re[2]: [Elecraft] KX1, the CIA, Spying

[Richard Phillips]

When I was at college doing my marine radio officer's ticket in the UK
we used to get annual recruitment visits from GCHQ which is the UK
monitoring and electronics intelligence organisation. I think the US
equivalent is the NSA? They used to come and tell us that we'd have a
wonderful career with them but that they couldn't tell us what it
would be until we'd joined. I chose oil tankers instead :-)
