Nellie Ohr applied for an FCC license for a personal ham radio in May of 2016, right in the thick of this.

Awfully strange to suddenly want to be a ham at her age.
Could be a means to communicate via an untraceable media?
(Ham since ‘69)
She did indeed get her amateur license - Technician Class.
Had to pass a pretty technical multiple choice exam.
Tech class generally communicates VHF over shorter distances, compared to HF, in which signals bounce off the ionosphere around the world. Ideal for talking to co-conspirators off the grid.
Whoa. Convenient timing..
