Andy et al,
Hope you don't mind my piggybacking on your FTDX10 comments, with some interesting wireless radio news event for tomorrow as the end of this message.
Use my 7300 5 hours a day, every day for 3 years and never experienced a degradation of performance. I am thank full for the SD card system backup tool, which has restored the "system" in seconds from operator errors. Yaesu is a fine radio, especially the top of the line, I wonder if some of the top of line users were disappointed with FTDX10 as an entry level radio, or use for POTA etc.
Bletchley Park ZOOM presentation for 4/20. Sign up at FREE: https://bletchleypark.org.uk/
Below Zoom event is opening day for revealing information until recently classified about Bletchley Park global wireless radio encrypted communications. Having spend over 100 hours researching wireless communications during WW2, which how I found this presentation for tomorrow 4/20.
Bletchley was hugely successful and never bombed, which show just how well they maintained secrecy.
The "Y" Stations, were equally important, Y is short hand for "wireless" sound being the same. Some of these stations had 1,000 foot wire antennas, and large arrays.
My misunderstanding that Bletchley employed 90 was smashed 2 weeks ago learning it was near 10,000 and still secret.
Y stations fed intercepted messages to Bletchley on foot, motorcycle, bicycle, etc.
The Y Stations used HRO and Hammarlund receives mostly, I'm looking for more sites showing Y Stations. The most interesting knowledge for was the evolution of mechanical computers to digital electronic computers prior to 1945 withing the walls at Bletchley in 1947 all the hardware and message were destroyed, an Enigma and Colossus machines have been built in the last 10 years. It appears that the Allies wanted the intelligence destroyed, since ever wireless message in the world had been copied.
73/88,
Henry WA1VAB
