[Milsurplus] Re: ww2 repeaters

[Ray Fantini]

I vaguely recall reading in a 43 issue of QST a article about
terrestrial use of radio relay or "repeater" stations for both voice
and later teletype communications in North Africa, the month of the
issue escapes me now, and a couple years back I maid the mistake of
getting all the issues of QST on CD so then I got rid of all the old
copies I had and don't know about you but trying to find something on
CD is no easy task.  The article gave a fairly good description of the
types of radios, the need to physically locate the receiver and
transmitter trucks apart and how captured German spiral four, or their
equal of spiral four telephone cables was used to interconnect the
trucks. Had pictures and everything. It's been about twenty years
since I read that so I am sure I have it all wrong, like the use of the
TBX-8 in the PTO but have fate that the group will point out the error
of my ways.
