So, IMHO, the answer to the question: "What did they use?" is: "Whatever they
could get to work."


I must confess to considerable surprise at the answers to this question. I
figured there would have been a very few high power HF stations with fair sized
antennas for long range Liaison communications, and lower powered VHF stations
at the airfields used for local traffic control, but that does not seem to be
the consensus at all.

Does anyone know the reliable range of the SCR-522 ? I would have guessed under
a couple of hundred miles, but I'm now pretty puzzled. Were bombers over Germany
out of communication range (radio silence not withstanding) ? Seems unlikely.
