I'm pleased that the history of radio in WW2 is acceptable on this news
group. The three threads I've posted so far are from memory, and at the moment
that's about all there is.
However, I have files describing many real intelligence transmissions
involving historic situations that for the most part went unheralded. These
files are in my library at my home in DeLand, Florida. I'm now at my summer home
in my home town of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, but we return to FL Nov 1. I'll dig
out some of the files when we return.
Thanks again for the interest. When I posted the first one I thought I might
be voted off the island.

Walt, W2DU

Walt, when you do posts these stories, will you post them under a name
that people will recognize please? I missed the first one because it
was posted under a topic I wasn't interested in. A new post heading
would be appreciated by all, I'm sure.

Thanks and 73,

Hello Walt,

I would like to add my voice to the chorus of those who would like to
read more of your reminiscences.

By the way, Prose Walker's last call was W4BW. There is an obituary
at http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2002/09/26/4/?nc=1
He was a very interesting fellow and a great friend to our hobby.

Thanks for your support, Ken, I appreciate knowing my writing is of
interest. However, re Prose's call sign, please refer to my earlier thread,
"The Correct Polarization Saves Lives....", and my post beneath the original
posting, where I showed his call signs correctly.
Incidentally, Prose was a close friend, having worked together both at the
Allegan primary station, and in Honolulu. We traveled to Hawaii together in the
first group of FCC personnel that arrived there to set up eight new secondary
stations. In addition, I was his best man during the wedding to his second wife,
and I was also a member of his advisory committee working on WARC 79.
