[Milsurplus] Those ATD Long/Medium Wave T.U.s

[Hubert Miller]

I would forget the "surrender broadcast story", Dave. That sounds like one  of "those stories" that sounds good until you start picking apart the details.
Seems to me that we'd hear it from other sources, like published sources. The island commands got their surrender commands from their regional 
HQs. I imagine the shore meetings were coordinated this way, then locally by blinker. There wasn't a high data rate necessary to set up the meetings.
And it in no way helps to understand the role of the MW transmitter use.
Navy aircraft did of course use MW freqs going way back. The ME transmitter ran something like 500-900 kHz, this from 1929, when these freqs were
already assigned for broadcast stations. 

I think even a 40 watt Command Sets transmitter with a trailing antenna could be of use in requesting a QTE from a foreign airfield. Or one of our own.
These freqs would still be useful for DF, but would need less of an antenna than the LF band. 
What say?
