The Minnesota History Center folks came down to test out a program on the TAB members.

Although we were sworn to secrecy by the US State Department it was a scenario dealing with KGB Agents operating in Brainerd, MN in the mid 1960's.   It involved codes, secret agents, atomic secrets, a morse code signal and a watertower!  Interesting.....

We advised it needed a little more fine tuning and some of the codes were hard.  We liked the scenario- who knew there were KGB agents in Brainerd of all places!  Deciphering the Morse code was difficult but we gave it a good try.  We triangled the signal!
THANKS MHS for giving us the chance to check it out!
