[Boatanchors] [Milsurplus] WWII, Germany and Their 170 KC C.D. Net

[Charlie , W5COV]

A fellow that was in the Signal Corps in WWII , mentioned it to me when 
he found out that I run a Lowfer beacon. The USA was using it in the 
Aleutians, where he was and was his specialty. Likely it was also being 
used on the Alaska main land too. He ran a commercial radio shop about 
50 miles from me, but has been retired for years, but still used to go 
there every day so old radio friends could stop by and hang out, after 
his wife passed away.

My dad was also in the Signal Corps in the Aleutians, and where he was 
they just used ground line telephones in the local area. EE8's "I 
think". My memory is not so good either, but dad was in cryptography and 
the equipment he used was not his primary area of knowledge.

I don't know if Ed is still living or not. I have not been up to visit 
with him in at least 5 years, but I think I will check, because he had a 
huge amount of knowledge on the LF comms , that were indeed radio.
