        I never said your Nazi radio was not interesting. I only questioned your
conclusion that it was a "spy-radio" as a demonstrated conclusion. The more
research on it the better. Watch out, however, for "ruling
hypotheses."

San Diego in 1975, I hired an investigator to find out who lived in the
house between 1939 and 1945. It turned out to be a single woman whose first

tracked down the radio, though the owner does not want to surrender it to a

this house was under FBI surveilance during World War II. I have learned,
however, there were 65 reported enemy submarine surfacings just a mile
offshore from San Diego and only a few blocks from this house. Although Bob
Schuyler remains skeptical, many people found this thread to be interesting
and encouraged me to pursue it. Hey, pulling the radio out from under a
