Because that person would probably be prosecuted and either fined or locked up…
It's not unfathomable to think that someone with the know how (and there were a lot of ham radio enthusiasts back then) would be able to do it and get away with it.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46403027 That wouldn't be the case now. Back then, yes - hell of a risk for a ham operator to take. No doubt if he was caught, a large fine or prison would be the result. So why do it? If he couldn't tell anyone about it and enjoy the kudos of his fellow ham operators, what would be the point?And, ^^THIS^^ Several HAM OP's did it altogether maybe, getting their shits and giggles from within their own little circle? You don't have to tell the whole world about something you once did!. Especially in the 70's, pre internet, it's not like today where half the world seems to delight in telling the rest of the world what they've just had for breakfast. Many GLP threads are testament to that.Ah, the internet. A double edged sword. LOL
