The WW2 Radio Shack

[Ludwig]

For those who are interested, I have added some updates concerning the secret WW2 radio shack, follow the menus for various pages.

The URL is https://sites.google.com/view/ww2-secret-radio-station
I am moving to the farm on a permanent basis in about 3 months, and progress will then be quicker...
The book "The Key Messenger" is progressing well. It is amazing what one can dig out about stay behind organisations (SBO's) today.
Anyway, have a look, I have started to add some download pages as well, and these will be updated with photos of receivers, transmitters, circuits, manuals etc.

This is really cool!
I wish you best of luck with your adventures in restoring such a site, and I look forward to reading your book.

I love the history of radio spying and alike. From one time pads to numeric code and huge bulky equipment all in a single base station with bulletproof walls and the smell of old electronics. Cold and dark, hidden in the middle of nowhere. That’s what my kind of radio shack eventually will be looking like. Inspiration is all around when just digging into it.

Ludwig, very nice job, it's a nice working museum, with all of the radios like they would have had them for a short period of time. It keeps the past alive, and people now and in the future can see what it was like.

Google sites, stay away they're news that you don't want to use.

What a beautiful place, what an incredible project!  A real inspiration, shows what can be done with a lot of hard work and inspiration.

I'll bet you make some amazing catches out there.
