Just one quick WWII CW story while the subject is active. I once read a WWII timeline based story of an American ham, then active in the military, testing his radio station transmitter with a string of V's and then quickly signing off using his amateur call sign. I believe the story was based that he was in a military aircraft in the European Theatre.
After testing the radio transmitter and antenna system to his satisfaction, signing his amateur radio call sign and returning to receive mode... he was quite surprised to receive a quick signal report, the sender of the received signal report quickly signed off with his pre-war German call sign. I let the source of that story get away many decades past... and I never heard if the two hams ever met during or post WWII. End of story... resume all skate. s. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
