Ham Radio Operators Tied to Spy Contacts
London dispatch reports that foreign agents can buy access to a directory of 400 000 amateur radio operators for under 12 dollars, exposing servicemen to recruitment. Douglas Britten, jailed 21 years under the Official Secrets Act, says a Russian ham approached him in 1962 and used his call sign G3KFL as cover for espionage. The Callbook lists British forces in Germany and other addresses, aiding potential mole recruitment, though Americans omit call signs to protect security. Amateurs defend the hobby as innocent while authorities warn of covert uses and bystander risk.
