Did the person who named the station know, or did they not research the name they ended up choosing? Its been declassified, it’s on Wikipedia. It strikes me anywhere from unlikely to unresponsible that the guy didn’t research what he intended to use for a name.

I don’t think that is well known.

The connotation has more to do with the long tradition of Pirate Radio, not a bunch of random CIA stuff.
