There is a new addition to the W3DBJ shack. There is now an E.H. Scott RCH receiver from WWII that were used on-board ships or submarines at sea, due to being designed with anti-detection technologies. It is possible to detect oscillator "leakage" in radios and TV's - and the Nazis built equipment to detect these minute voltages. The radio is barely detectable at 1 ft away, and would have been impossible to "see" with their equipment. It's black and sitting now in a black radio rack, and still pretty impossible to see, unless it's turned on and I can see the dials red glow.
Hopefully I will have it in place (bolted in) by the 15th for the Antique CX contest, along with my Gonset exciter, will give me a great multiplier!
