You have to ‘ask’ in a nice way...................
Is AMSAT still working?................
But that is really not a practical solution. Only useful by calculating the path. None of them I know about are geosynchronous.
Duh...
Heck, you were probably the Freeper who steered me towards him! (someone tipped me off, and I haven’t looked back...:)
Everything is recorded. Ham radio is not a mystery to anyone. Repeaters are everywhere and all of them have the capacity to archive every communication.
It all kinda depends.
The deal with all RECORDED calls can be just the fact your number called a certain number, and when. Thus you get those “spiderweb” graphs—legal—but showing the connections between certain callers and unknowns (for example).
MUCH easier when all you have to do is sift through known telephone numbers. I dunno if the NSA could do this with radio frequencies unless they have a LOT more information.
Or—you can have a code so simple no one knows it is even code. As in—the title of LeCarre’s novel where the address on the envelope WAS the coded message.
64 DOLLAR QUESTION:
Who are the three (3) ham radio operators who signed Nellie Ohr’s test for the license.
Are these individuals affiliated in any with with the alphabet spooks?
Not so much that personal wireless is covert, just compared with the alternative, use of a public utility, it is.
You ask a very good question about the VEs who signed the forms and it ought to include an inquiry into the VEC, too, IMO. Full disclosure - I am a VE.
Most ham supply stores won't sell ham equipment to unlicensed buyers, but what about private sales? (Oh noes! The "hamfest loophole!!")
But, again, somebody is always listening, and hams do not react well to people coming up on the bands and failing to ID. And, of course, once you do ID, there's QRZ.com and 10 seconds later, anybody with a browser can know exactly who you are, where you are, and what you look like (if you posted a pic on your profile).
Bottom line, sure you could use ham radio equipment to evade a certain type of surveillance, but note that having a license does not exactly aid in such.
(Amateur Extra here, but not telling my callsign; I ain't doxxing myself!)
When there is a FISA surveillance, they can record ALL calls within two hops of a person, that is, if person A is under surveillance, they can record EVERYTHING and EVERYONE person A talks to. From each person person A talks to, they can record EVERYONE person B talks to. They even used to allow a person C and person D.
That is an ENORMOUS volume of calls to be surveilled.
If you use a Ham radio...sure, those can be monitored, but...for some reason, I suspect they aren’t, or are very little.
“Repeaters are everywhere and all of them have the capacity to archive every communication.”
Nope - some may be capable of that but none around my area can do that, to my knowledge. Specifically, I’m the site rep for a location that has 3 repeaters on 6 meters, 222 MHz, & 440 MHz so I know for a fact that none of those three have that capability. I’m also the president of a local ham radio club and I know none of the club’s repeaters have that ability, either. The truly geeky may record transmissions by way of a receiver in their home, though.
Yes, he lays out all of he interconnections. However, there are so many people and connections, it is hard to follow. Therefore I made a concept map of the people and connections. It makes it much clearer to see the overall picture. It is helpful to look at this when listening to the podcasts.
Well, I would suspect there is no social life outside of the alphabet circle of business-related associates. Therefore, the VEs are worthy targets for further inquiry.
Looking back at the first time that I looked at the digital modes, my thought was about transmitting in code or semi-obscure messages.
One of those kit radios from India or thereabouts have open frequencies that are well outside of the normal ARRL band list.

It REALLY draws your eyes to all the things that, independently might just seem to people to be coincidences, but when you look at it in the graphic format, your eyes are drawn to entities that have a LOT of relationships that are...NOT coincidental looking.
There is at least ONE really, REALLY suspicious connection you did not show...you might want to consider adding it in (if you think it helps):
Perkins Coie Law Firm to Organizing for America to Obama.
Here is the Wikipedia entry on this...they seem to be trying deliberately in changing names and missions over time to confuse and obfuscate:
"...Organizing for America, then Organizing for Action, (OFA) is a community organizing project of the Democratic National Committee. Initially founded after the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama, the group sought to mobilize supporters in favor of Obama's legislative priorities, particularly health care reform. Eventually, the organization played a role in the midterm elections of 2010. Later, it became the grassroots arm of Obama for America. After Obama's second inauguration, it was reorganized as Organizing for Action and returned to its previous mission of organizing around the President's agenda. It has since turned into a hub of the Democratic protest movement..."
From an article at Breitbart: "...Obama for America began the payments to Perkins Coie in April 2016 — the same time the law firm hired Fusion GPS to look into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, The Federalist’s Sean Davis reported Sunday..."
Total nonsense. The NRO maintains satellites that easily intercepts ham radio.
K callsigns are Tech class. These are not commercial. They are 2x3 ARS.
I don’t know if it is total nonsense or not...if they do intercept ham radio (I doubt it is hard to do) are they feeding it into the same analyzer they might use for phone calls, etc?
And again...THEY might not know it was being monitored.
They are, after all, “the smartest people in the room”, and are arrogant enough to think they could do all kinds of ‘clever’ stuff including trying to entice members of the Trump team (Carter Page and George Papadpoulos) into having illicit or illegal contact with foreign agents (Which I FULLY believe now to be a setup to try to get a retroactive FISA warrant that would have covered surveillance) and other such things.
Like Hillary using her own email server, only to get tripped up when they noticed during the Benghazi investigation that some official emails were not being routed through, the official .gov servers...compounded by the hack of the DNC servers (who did THAT...inside job?) and compounded by the idiot Podesta who got nailed in a phishing scam that showed even more emails that are incriminating to Obama.
They tried to be too clever by half, and their arrogance is going to bring them down (If indeed, anything does)
