Shortly following the posting of this article initially published by Zero Hedge, we issued the following Note.
GR Editor’s Advisory to our Readers:
Some elements of this article initially published by Zero Hedge are not fully corroborated. The ARRL does not constitute a fully reliable source of information concerning an activity undertaken and organized by the DoD.
Moreover, Army MARS which is also quoted as a source “is a Department of Defense sponsored program which utilizes Amateur Radio operators to contribute to the mission of the Department of the Army.” The amateur radio operators quoted in this article do not constitute a source on behalf of the DoD.
***
Upon further review of the Zero Hedge article, we decided to remove it due to absence of corroborating evidence.
