I am looking forward to seeing the movie for this thread.  It sounds like
something for which Harrison Ford could win another Oscar.  Let's hope
someone is busily writing the screenplay to make a big profit.  (Better yet,
let's hope the assign the profits over to the Society for Historical
Archaeology, so future members dues will be free!!)  The movie could be
called, "The Spy Within" or something along those lines.

This thread has been amusing, however, like so many obscure, low-density
archaeological deposits, I am having a difficult time accepting the
conclusions that are being drawn by this lack of hard evidence and
documentation.  Unless, of course, the originator of this exercise simply
wanted that to be its purpose.  Putting out a few crumbs of bread, a bit of
cheese, and a piece of lettuce, and hoping to see it crafted into a
tremendous feeding frenzy based upon wild imaginations and loose fragments
of history.  Sometimes, we amaze ourselves, but would someone please show me
the credible evidence?

Subject:        Re: Hidden Nazi Radios and other matters

Hello HISTARCHers:
 I just have one tiny question and I apologize if I perpetuate this lengthy
discussion, but would the proximity of a HAM or small power radio to the
larger radio towers and equipment of the military base make detection rather
difficult?  I understand that a signal like that of the Bismarck could be
traced, but then again it is a single signal in an area devoid of such radio
traffic.  Also, could the proximity make transmission and reception
difficult, especially since when I used to own a CB radio I used to get
"stepped on" by higher power transceivers.  Could someone clarify this for
me?  Thanks.
Scott
