Amateur Radio Defense was a magazine published in the early 1940's. In its own statement, "AMATEUR RADIO DEFENSE is being published to foster a greater use of amateur radio operators and equipment in the defense of our nation. Publication appears to have ceased in 1941.
"Amateur Radio Defense magazine painted hobbyists as a reserve army of fifty thousand licensed amateur radio operators who stand ready and able to meet any threatening disaster."
This was in response to the curtailment of ham radio leading up to the U.S. entry into the war. In June, 1940, contact with foreign amateurs was prohibited by "Order 72" |
