Quoting Ralph Cameron <ramcam at magma.ca>:

> U-Boats were regularly DF'ed out of some agricultural land in mid town
> Ottawa during the war. They had about 30 intercept ops who monitored
> specific portions of the HF bands and as soon as a fix could be obtained it
> was immeidately passd to the British Admiralty.
>
> One of the operators recently gave a talk on this operation to the local ham
> club.
> Other operatives were sent to South America under the auspicies of the
> British to do similar interception. From talking with one of the living
> operators he stated the conditions were not as good as they thought.
>
> Recently one of the Canadians who operated in South America passed away
