Keeping in mind, both Bruce and Nellie Ohrs subject matter skill-set within the DOJ would provide them with a comprehensive understanding of how to network and communicate with international actors outside the traditional risk of communication intercepts. In short, Mrs. Nelli Ohr would know that using HAM radio frequencies would be a way to avoid the risk of U.S. intelligence intercepts on her communications.
The Clinton Campaign hired Fusion GPS in April 2016. Fusion GPS then sub-contracted retired British Intel MI6 agent Christopher Steele to write the Russian Dossier. A month later, May 23rd 2016, Fusion GPS employee Nellie Ohr gets HAM radio license.
So are we to believe its COINCIDENTAL? All of a sudden, a 60(ish)-year-old woman decides to use a HAM radio the month after contracting with Christopher Steele for a Russian opposition research dossier on Donald Trump?
Nonsense.
He wont. Trump should demand a special prosecutor and skin alive anyone in the way. He wont. Massive failure. Only plausible excuse is to save it strategically to unleash for the midterms. Dont hold your breath. I dont think anyone in the White House has any brains.

Odd yes but not a good means of communication of confidential data. Mrs. Mad has a HAM license. Why? So we can communicate in the outback. No cell service. Everything you broadcast on a radio is subject to interception. Transmitting an obviously coded message will cause an Elmer somewhere to sit up and take note.
Are we to believe that she was instantly able to acquire the knowledge to pass the theory amatuer radio test?
Me thinks there is less here than meets the eye.

I’ve seen a lot of bat-s**t crazy stuff around here lately, but this little gem just may take the cake.
As an Amateur Radio guy, I can answer this question.
First, most "new hams" are in their late 40's through mid 60's. It's considered an "old man's" hobby however it does have a small and growing number of women in the same age group.
Second, Amateur Radio communications are unencrypted so I'm unsure what sort of communications Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele would have over the air. Encrypted communications in Amateur Radio are prohibited (with the exception of DMR in the 2m/440mhz portion of the amateur radio spectrum, which are LOCAL communications.)
Now, if Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele were going to use encrypted comms in the Amateur Radio band, doing that from a fixed location would be rather stupid. While triangulating longwave comms to a specific location can be difficult and time consuming, it's not impossible by any stretch.
So I fail to see what the importance of the ham radio license application is, other than she's genuinely interested in it, or to be a distraction?
No-code Tech class HAM license lets one transmit & receive on 10 meters (28MHz) and higher:

General class allows transmission & reception on tech bands plus lower than 28MHz, but the test is tougher & IIRC does have a code requirement (5 words a minute).

If someone has a HAM license, their name & call sign would be listed

It’s Amateur Radio, and “ham,” not “HAM” is a popular nickname for Amateur radio. There is absolutely no privacy with Amateur Radio.
” outside the normal risk of communication intercepts.” is complete nonsense. It is explicitly forbidden to encrypt Amateur Radio transmissions: they must be in plain text and plain language. Speaking in code is not allowed.
” using HAM radio frequencies would be a way to avoid the risk of U.S. intelligence intercepts on her communications.” Complete nonsense.
So what the hell are they saying?
Anyone who thinks that they can get and use an Amateur Radio license to hook up with Russians to “meddle” with the election is really stupid.
Maybe some m*slims feel offended, because their religion won’t allow them to apply for a HAM license.
