It seems Nellie Ohr was well aware the National Security Agency can intercept and store every communication on the Internet. Did that affect her decision to become a ham radio operator?
That brings us to Nellie Ohr, holder of amateur radio call sign KM4UDZ. Ohr graduated from Harvard University in 1983 with a degree in history and Russian literature. She studied in the Soviet Union in 1989 and obtained a PhD in Russian history in 1990.
For those of you who may be tempted to read her 400-plus page PhD thesis, here’s a spoiler alert: in murdering untold millions, Joseph Stalin may have engaged in some “excesses” which, in her words, “sometimes represented desperate measures taken by a government that had little real control over the country.” Translated into simple English, she meant, “Hey, cut the guy some slack. Creating a proletarian paradise can be tough and anybody can get carried away.”
Q
The terror of the Russian rulers was their management technique.
YES! Thanks edzo4! This is what I had run across but couldn’t find again.... however, Wneighbor was suggesting that we are still missing some critical pieces of the puzzle regarding her “hamming.” Apparently this writer thinks so too from this excerpt at the end of the article:
“This type of circumstantial evidence can be quite powerful. For example, a video of a nun buying a bustier at Victoria’s Secret would not be direct evidence that she was having an affair. But it most assuredly would prompt a jury to seriously wonder about her motives and commitment to celibacy. The same can be said for Nelly’s ham license. Just what was she up to?
Undoubtedly further information on this topic will be forthcoming. But, in the meantime, it is fair to ask in the ham vernacular of yesteryear, “Dit-dah-dah; dah; dit-dit-dah-dit?” That’s Morse code for “WTF?””
