Re: Of interest, a "paraset" connection
w2sh@...
The ability to operate a clandestine radio transmitter from batteries was an advantage because of the portability afforded. But more important was the removal of the equipment from mains power.
Here's why.
The occupying Germans had mobile receiving units in automobiles with loop antennas. But their task was made easier when the Germans shut down various geographic sectors of commercially supplied electric power while the rogue transmitter was operating. Transmissions
using commercial power immediately ceased and the location of the rogue transmitter became quickly localized.
72,
Charles, W2SH
P.S. I am a former French national and my dad was in the resistance movement, never transmitting, but listening to coded messages contained in the daily French language broadcasts by the BBC from London. With these he coordinated his sabotage efforts, spotting
German coastal gun positions along the south-western coast of France while sailing a "fishing" boat.

Re: 40 & 80 meter net
Dave Redfearn
Bert,
Thanks for pulling me out of the noise! Tonight I was running the Sierra at 2 - 2.5 watts. The antenna on 40 M is a rotatable dipole up about 45 feet. Today I got my 80 M inverted vee back up from having the house painted and it definitely hears better than the horizontal loop I've been using. 73 - Dave, N4ELM

Re: 40 & 80 meter net
Tonight I tried again to work around the SB on 40m from Wells, ME..... I didn’t notice any difference from a few weeks ago at my QTH in Florida. 80m is just out of the question with QRM.both here and in Florida for me and not much can be done about that.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
However, we can move the 40m Net away from the SB QRM, they have a right to be there and QRP can’t compete. I know that I’m not the only one affected, and I had been able to check before with the only issue being my ability. 72, John

Re: 40 & 80 meter net

40m. Sorry Bert for addressing you as Johnny. WA9PWP is almost always the strongest station heard here in NJ and he didn't disappoint tonight with a robust 589. Copy was a bit tough with QRN after a full day of thunderstorms here that only abated at sundown.
Spanish language SSB QRM was heavy both above and below 7.122 mHz.
80m. Heard bits and pieces of you guys on 3,5640.04. Not enough readability to warrant my pushing the key.

Para-sets and books
griffithsesq.robert
See photos below from Les Invalids (Sp) Military Museum in Paris if, they come through the Reflector.
Many of you have probably already read The Secret Wireless War -The Story of MI6 Communications 1939-1945 by Geoffrey P Pidgeon. There is a chapter on Clandestine Wireless and Agent Sets. Another section describes how German Operators used Q Signals in their messages to attempt to disguise military traffic as Amateur Radio communications. Another recent book with some coverage of agents dropped behind the lines in WW2 is Last Hope Island. 73 Griff NE3I Griff NE3i
