[Milsurplus] Re: Very Interesting WWII German Transmitter

[Hue Miller]

Excellent detective work, Dave. 
( "S. " for Sherlock? )
The tube would certainly last long enuff at the higher heater 
voltage, to fulfill its mission; possibly it might transmit a more
powerful signal too, without the full 1000 volts B. I would
think, Dave, they wouldn't bother with the weight of a 
dynamotor at all, more likely stacked normal 90 volt radio
batteries. This only had to run a few minutes also. 
I suppose a scout plane could be used to pick up the
transmissions, if they were hard to pick up in the old
country. Or maybe coastal France was close enuff to 
pick up the transmitters. It might have been, i am totally
guessing, that the trailing wire might have imparted some
kind of distinctive "burble" sounding FM to the signal.
Someday, it might be interesting to pose these questions
to the German antique radio & technology group GFGF.
Maybe they even already have the answers!
Quite a while back, i saw on German TV ( net TV,
this was NTV Berlin ) a film of a diver going into some
flooded underground missile factory. The place other
than being flooded looked pretty good shape - so far,
and the diver reported it spooky with the workbenches,
rooms, signs, etc. all still there.
