[Scan-DC] Russian Embassy Interference

[Doug K.]

Just in case anyone isn't aware of the situation here, the Soviet Embassy is 
located just off upper Connecticut Avenue near Van Ness Street in Northwest 
DC (near UDC, University of the District of Columbia if that helps).  It's 
documented that the US government made a colossal mistake in allowing them 
to build there, because it's one of the highest spots in DC - ideal for 
electronic evesdropping (ooh, better make that "monitoring"!), as well as 
transmitting back to The Rodina (motherland).  I don't suppose there's much 
doubt that the building is crammed with electronics and that RFI is 
extremely high in the area.

(By the way, some free trivia - the old National Bureau of Standards, now 
National Institute of Standards and Technology {NIST}, which is now in 
Gaithersburg MD, used to be right in the same area, if not on the same 
spot.)
