[CW] Soviet Russian Radiotelegraph Practice during WWII

[Rick Dettinger]

The 1966 John Le Carre’ novel "The Looking Glass War” involves a spy with an old crystal controlled radio in the Cold War.  The East Germans were very adept at using direction finding trucks to find radio emissions.  -Spoiler-  The spy is captured when he does not change frequencies on time.  
I have also read that in Iron Curtain countries, they used the method of rapidly dropping electrical feeders in sequence.  If the signal went QRT when a certain feeder was dropped, it was known what streets the transmitter was being operated on.  Of course, this did not work if battery power was being used.
