Ham's Help Fight Terrorism
***Breaking News***Newington, CT
Sources inside ARRL confirm a new public service program to aid our government in the war on terror. LOTW logs are being shared with the National Security Agency. This monitoring of our communications with foreign nationals began 2 years ago and is apart of the program known as PRISM. Our leaders in ARRL were on capitol hill to protect our valuable spectrum and in order to keep from loosing the 440 UHF band the ARRL agreed to provide direct access to all LOTW data.
Recent server upgrades of LOTW and recent crashes of LOTW happened as a result of implementing this new cooperation with the government.
Hams do a great job in keeping accurate logs and in keeping our tradition of providing public service it now makes "hams" not only valuable in disaster relief but in protecting the nation from terrorism.
