[NJARC] Italian-American Radios during WWII

[John Ruccolo]

Hi Walter/Folks,

My father, a WW2 vet and an Italian-American, told me that the shortwave "cutting" was usually done with "a nod and a wink" and was easily reversible. That may not be true for all radiomen in all parts of the country, but apparently it was the norm in small-town South Jersey.

Regards,

John
