I can't recall the source where I read this (possibly "The Wizard War" 
<http://www.vectorsite.net/ttwiz.html>), but as I understand it, the 
Allies concocted the whole DF on the LO myth as a disinformation 
campaign to convince the German's that the British Navy was sinking 
their U-boats by DF'ing the LO in their radio receiver, instead of by 
locating them by radar. They went so far in this disinformation 
campaign as to contract with Scott to build "LO shielded" morale 
receivers for the troop ships.
