A subset $E$ of a discrete abelian group is called $\epsilon $-Kronecker if all $E$-functions of modulus one can be approximated to within $\epsilon$ by characters. $E$ is called a Sidon set if all bounded $E$-functions can be interpolated by the Fourier transform of measures on the dual group. As $\epsilon$-Kronecker sets with $\epsilon <2$ possess the same arithmetic properties as Sidon sets, it is natural to ask if they are Sidon. We use the Pisier net characterization of Sidonicity to prove this is true.
