She may have gotten the license to have handy if she ever needed to explain why she was legally entitled to be in possession of and/or allowed to use certain equipment....Wonder if they were worried about their comms being bugged and ham radio was going to be an emergency and/or back up method.
And she could have gotten the license and allowed someone else use of the equipment.
You do not need a license to buy amateur radio equipment — but you need a license to use it.
Mew, you were right about her being the cutout. I wonder if Rosen will advance his reporting today after all the developments?
