[ILQSO] Fw: TWO PBS DOCUMENTARIES FOR RADIO HAMS

[ilqso@mailman.qth.net]

This should be quite interesting to a lot of us old coots, especially.  
But HOW to get it?    The three stations airing it are in Springfield,
Macomb and Quincy Illinois.     I tried WTTW but they know nothing.

DEAR ALL AT YOUR A.R CLUB

We are informing you about two TV programmes we have produced that will
be of great interest to your radio amateur members, all about the use of
Secret Wireless in the UK during the Second World War.  

If you can receive any of the three PBS stations WMEC / WQEC / WSEC you
will be able to watch the two documentaries called �The Secret Wireless
War�. The programmes have uncovered new wartime secrets, told by the men
who were specially enlisted for those radio operations.

Monday February 9th  21.00
1.  "Beyond Bletchley Park"  explores how the WW2 secret German radio
signals were intercepted, deciphered at Bletchley Park, and acted upon by
British intelligence and subsequently dispersed back into the field in
occupied Europe. Radio Amateur and RSS listener Bob King G3ASE describes
his important operations. Wilf Neal tells of his experiences in France
with Patton�s 3rd Army, operating one of the mobile transmitter/receiver
units installed in a Dodge Ambulance. David White G3ZPA tells us about
spy-sets and Geoffrey Pidgeon takes a ride in an authentic 1940 Packard
used as a radio car. 

Monday February 16th  2100
2.  "Black Propaganda" follows the development and content of the secret
British black radio broadcasts against the Germans. We hear the
fascinating tales from transmitter engineer Phil Luck and Ingram Murray,
son of one of the important Foreign Office officials that shaped the
operations. Travelling in a genuine wartime Packard motorcar, Phil visits
his old transmitter station still surviving on the Woburn Estate.
Presenter Debra Rixon explores the remarkable remains of the black
propaganda broadcasting station at Milton Bryan and visits the station
manager�s son Peter Halliday. From an old trunk they uncover some
extremely interesting and secret documents, which give an insight into
wartime life at Milton Bryan. The programme is enhanced with genuine
music and news from the last broadcast in 1945, none of which have been
aired since the end of the war.   


Happy New Year and 73 from producers David and Debra Rixon.
