Mr T is correct..House on 92nd Street is the movie and I just recently saw it on our local terrestrial TV channel.

It shows this clandestine station operated by a FBI informant using a HT-4 with the

HT-5 modulator and BC 939 ant tuner...with two NC 200 rcvrs a BC 614 modulator on the side and one piece of equipt I could not ID. Also the the spies hide out in NYC is either a S-24 or 25 in the background

The entire movie is on you tube and is not too bad to watch through..but if you just want to see the scenes with the radios the two opportunities to do so are at...

36.33..the best one...and 1.14.52.

The funny part for me is in the final scene..if you watch you'll catch what is said about the operating frequency of the

HT-4...correct cw was being sent too.

I saw some movie on Youtube about the German spy ring East Coast USA early WW2.
There was one fellow who relayed information to Germany with his higher powered setup.

But what a setup ! I thought, man, i would like to have a shack like that.

That film would be THE HOUSE ON 92ND STREET.

It's probably the only chance you'll have to see a Hallicrafters HT-4 transmitter (the civilian rig that

the BC-610 was developed from).
