Ed - i don't think you wrote an article for the Army Communicator
making dubious claims, or posted  material on your website repeating ill-sourced 
information. So you don't need to feel personally attacked, and i certainly  never 
had this in mind.
Those claims surfaced here in references to the material. That's why i presented a
countercase here instead of taking it up with the Army Communicator writers, who i
sorta doubt care to corrrect their information. I don't get the feeling that mag is in 
the class of the Proceedings of the Naval Institute ( for example only. )

What do YOU think about the questions and information i provided, what is your
conclusion? You really can come to some conclusions on your own. Or you can
tell me what i posted, that was incorrect.

I think the Army Communicator article supposed historical information is surprisingly
and disappointingly sloppy, for a major publication from a US military branch. I do NOT
fault anyone for having trusted it and giving it as a reference.
Maybe i will go contact the author(s). But, there are a lot of  challenges in the world, and
limited time.

I was thinking recently, that thru the interchange on this list, we have disposed of these
myths about  WW2 communications-electronics.

1)  U-boats searched for ships by following ship's radio receiver radiations
2)  German vhf armored communications, heard in North America, were 
exploited for intelligence purposes
3)  German armored vehicles used NVIS mode via NVIS loop antennas.
