Buck:

Aegean Park Press has reprinted Navy OPNAV 20 - 26 under the title "Direction Finding". It is a summary of what was
done and how as of 1947. Pretty complete summary of WW2 techniques. Aegean has a web site for descriptions and sales.
Note the spelling.

In WWII the allies were able to pinpoint the locations of German HF
transmissions very accurately. They were able to pinpoint the
locations of U-boats, etc. when they transmitted. (or so I have been
led to believe).

What methods did they use to do this? Is it something duplicatable
with Radio Amateurs in general or does it require some special type
equipment?


I hear lots of amateurs describing interference and other problems on
HF, but no one seems to be triangulating the offending stations. I am
guessing that the real secret was in their communications with the
'spotters' to triangulate the positions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
