Nice trip down mammary lane, but what has this to do with amateur radio?

TAFKARJ is trying to "prove" something by connecting SK hams
with the U.S. Army and Washington Army Radio of early 1942.

You know, Len, when you want to talk Army radio, its considered
completely irrelevant. Its just NOT Amateur Radio!

When TAFKARJ wants to talk Army radio, it is wholesome and wunnerful,
and has everything to do with amateur radio somehow, even though
amateur radio was OUTLAWED at the time he speaks of.

Careful about those emotionally-loaded words, next thing you know
we will have another Sermon On The Antenna Mount about the
glory and the majesty of morse code.

Washington Army Radio (WAR) had as much to do with amateur
radio as ham-astronauts got into spaceflight through ham radio. :-)

I don't think these guys are complete fools, but there edging their
way over.

Not fools in the true sense. They are just BELIEVERS in the
Church of St. Hiram. None of them had anything to do with Army
radio and so they grasp at idolized imagination straws trying to
promote morse code and the old ways. If they find some scrap
of information that supports their evangelism, they will want to
scrap with anyone about it and its veracity. :-)
