[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 70, Issue 28

[Les Locklear]

Back in 1958, my dad was stationed in Madrid, Spain. He was a teletype and crypto tech. I had a Hammarlund SP-200 variant, a AACS model. I sent off a qsl request to radio Moscow.........the Air Force intercepted the reply and qsl card from them and dad was called in to answer why his son was in contact with the Russians. They were anal about things back then too. It's funny now.

  Les,

  You and I KNOW how anal THEY can be!

  I got drug in for a LONG session of questioning in 1983.  It started by CID pursuing a missing piece of club equipment.

  I told them what I was doing in the club station.

  Next thing I knew, I was on the HOT seat because I had communicated with Russian Amateurs.  This developed into multiple sessions.

  They finally laid off the grilling.  I'm surprised that I got my clearance reinstated to work with DOE after retirement!

      Like Gary, there were many sites that I worked that had the same types 
      of restrictions.

      The Group Commander didn't have the combination to the Operations 
      Center.  HE had to press the VISITOR's button to gain access.

      It is NO surprise that there are NO pictures.  Even those whom speak 
      their piece today "could" get a visit by a Dark car with VERY darkly 
      tinted windows occupied by "gentlemen" in suits.

      It was and IS the nature of the business that MANY were in while working 
      for Uncle Sam,, whether in uniform or not.
