[FARC] Wartime Radio: The Secret Listeners

[Rick Ogden]

Thanks Dan for the wonderful video link.  This is exactly what I did for the USAF during my
4 year enlistment.  Since I was a licensed ham radio operator at age 14, when I enlisted at
age 17 I was put right into the USAF Security Service as a Russian CW intercept operator.
For several years I copied the coded messages of a Russian fighter squadron - if they flew
or "hickupped" I knew it.  It was a quite an experience for a teenage ham operator!

I know I am not a skilled or proficient CW operator. But check out the massive 
rass straight key pounding out CW at the start of this documentary. Take note 
f the call signs of the UK operators as they talk on. Puts our 1 X 2 call signs 
o shame.

hen knowing Morse code really meant something, Good story, reminds me of 
omething I heard of that was going on while in the Navy!
