Offhand, I can’t think of a week filled with more unforced errors than this one for the Trump campaign. Then again, we have a long holiday weekend ahead of us. He could still top himself.
Kudos on the “The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records responsive to your request.” FOIA letter. That tells us a lot about the organized use of radios on Jan. 6. Not sure how an entire committee assigned to investigate Jan. 6 missed that area of investigation in its findings. I’ll look forward to your follow up story from July as well. Hope you get some downtime this weekend. You’ve more than earned it.
Given the FBI answer to Jamie's FOI request, either there were no ham radios used for Jan. 6, or there were and it falls under the ongoing investigation exception. Since Jamie's evidence about the use of ham radios seems solid -- and also a logical move for the insurrectionists -- then maybe the FBI wants to keep listening in. Is that too far fetched?
Watching Trump over the years I am not longer surprised at anything he says and does. As a 20 year retired Air Force veteran I am mad over what he did in Arlington National Cemetery. He doesn't have the guts take responsible for it, claiming the families did it without his knowledge. What else is there left to say.
I always learn something reading Regular Order, if not several things. Today’s favorite is that Ham Radio Operators call themselves “hams” Thank you again.
He rarely talks about it but one of my earliest good impressions of Jamie was learning that he was a ham operator and has been for a long time -- maybe even from before his professional days in journalism. I don't know about now, but not long ago ham operators were the main sources of important news when weather catastrophes and military conflicts made legacy media too dangerous for eye-witnesses.
Yes I got my ham license in my first semester in college back in 1981. It has been a great hobby and offers all kinds of different avenues of interest. There's a few hams on board here with the newsletter.
One of my childhood friends became interested in ham radio in the Fifties and my memory is that in those days most (or all) of the communication was by Morse code. He swapped postcards from all over the world with other ham operators because that was one of the main activities when connections were made.
I bet you have a collection like that and can still use Morse code as easily as a qwerty keyboard.

Oooh a teaser! Can't wait!
