The paranoia in Goa was at its peak in the 60s, soon after the "liberation". A Jesuit priest, Pe. Albino, I understand, was deported from Goa for having a operated transmitter. However, another "ham" operator (call sign ending in DM) maintained a low-profile during those years. Perhaps the paranoia is related to the fact that whenever a high-profile person visits Goa, mobile phone communications mysteriously go dead. Cheers, Gabriel.
