[TenTec] FS: Secret Wireless War

[Stuart Rohre]

This is a great book with lots of pictures!  Good price, it is a large 
format coffee table sized book.  It includes accounts of the British 
hams activities as listeners for spy transmissions or other suspicious 
on air activity; the cadre of civilan ham operators who became uniformed 
listeners, but not subject to regular military organization, the 
transmitter sites, receiver sites, propaganda broadcasting, deception 
transmissions, and how they got agents onto the continent and back off 
safely.  Includes photos of the mobile stations mounted in Packard cars, 
or trucks, and the sets built in the MI6 workshops near Bletchley Park, 
as well as the distinction between the activity at Bletchley and the 
clandestine radio operations of the monitoring corps, as well as 
activities of the agents sent overseas.  One chapter outlines the 
experiences of a German counterpart clandestine radio operator, and 
another of the operator assigned to Churchill on his secret travels 
during the war, long before long range air transport was the routine and 
safe mode of travel enjoyed today.

No connection with the seller, just a love of old radios, as well as Ten 
Tecs, and the functional designs, with no nonsense straight forward 
radio design used for reliable and simple radios for MI 6.  I treasure 
my copy of "TSWW".
