SE108 WW2 spy radio in use. How to set up a simple portable antenna with maximum efficiency.

[@tpobrienjr]

Thank you for an outstanding demonstration. It shows that a spy radio needs to be designed for concealment - three parts in this case. Storing the Morse key inside one of the modules is a good idea. I have a tiny Russian spy key that slides into a mount on the outside of the transmitter - I don't know where it was stored, but probably inside the transmitter somewhere.

Great demo with the German wireless Helge , I didn't know about the German spy radios, workd good ,all your videos are great , tks ! Good luck om 73, I am a cw nut ! I will look up info on the radios .

Good example of how the right antenna and its position make a significant difference. It’s not openly stated in the video, but note the antenna height is 90 feet (30m) which is one key to its effectiveness. The other two keys: the rock wall is a great signal reflector and the large body of water which the signal travels across. Excellent demonstration!

[@LA6NCA]

Thank you for describing the antenna so well. It worked as you describe, very well.

[@eventozsingh280]

Very interesting ,great video. Though it seems the system was very cumbersome, with setup /antenna dismantle etc would have taken some time. As someone already mentioned , spy would need to clear out asap of his operating site before counter espionage team could triangulate his position.

Receiver drifts but is sensitive. Transmit is spot on. Love it!

[@davidgrey943]

The transmitter looks like single style of transmitter I am guessing that the receiver is regn or TRF in design. I like the smallness of the whole setup. 73's From ZL.

[@SeAfasia]

amazing setup Helge....the wires are practically effective..tks for share your try...73

[@LeopardAppaloosa755]

Very instructive to see what is possible with very limited equipment. Inspiring!

[@lorksmoot4937]

This is outstanding. Very greatly interesting. It would be interesting to see other antenna ideas attempted with this particular station. For instance, what would performance be like if a whip antenna was used? What about other things that might be used as an antenna that are commonly in houses, such as a window screen or some other conductive material...??? Thank you for your efforts in providing such excellent information!

great work. nice filming.

Nice and clear signal 👍

Works nice Helge! Happy New Year, 73, from PD8533

[@rádiosantigos1958]

Very interesting. Could you show more of the receiver, transmiter and the power supply? Thanks.

[@LA6NCA]

I will make another video later. But here's one I made a while ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3WTaJSJmNd-rJI

This is amazing, thank you, very much fun to watch!

Great video! Enjoyed seeing such historic equipment in action.

Great video, really enjoy you using the old spy radio equipment. Pls make more...👍 K7OSS

[@dxexplorer]

I hope this year I finally have the time to learn the code. The sounds of CW is what made me fall in love with the hobby when I was a kid. Now I finally have a license and still didn't learned the code haha. Thank you for one more nice video. The equipment amazes me. 73 DE YO6DXE.

[@andrzejturkiewicz8624]

basically it's every new video that surprises me, thank you Helge, thank you very much, 73 es GL, Andy SP2LNY

[@steinar80]

Flott video, Helge. Veldig morsomt å se! Veldig artig prosjekt, og viser nok engang at trådantenne er et meget godt portabel alternativ! 73, de LA5WTA

[@LA6NCA]

Ja, jeg har eksperimentert mye og har funnet at denne fungerer best på en enkel måte.

[@cipheroth]

Your videos are so amazing, cheers my dear friend !

Very interesting set up, congratulations. 73 Denis F6CRP

[@Steve-GM0HUU]

👍Excellent Helge. Good that this worked. I wondered why all the flags were on the cliff top. Utmerket Helge. Bra at dette fungerte. Jeg lurte på hvorfor alle flaggene var på klippetoppen.

I actually got on 40 meters today with my CIA RS-1 set today. Fun stuff ! 73

[@SuperLaplander]

Very nice setup, thank you sir!

[@khalidtarawneh2289]

[@Andy2e0ree]

Happy New Year brother great old radio

[@asbjrnursin8912]

Godt nyttår Helge. Igjen en flott video og fint oppsett av stasjonen, men du burde ha funnet deg en plass i solen :-). 73, de LA5MT.

[@GeoffreyFeldmanMA]

This is great. I am curious to know would a real spy possibly pick shorter wavelengths? I imagine too that a spy would need to clear out of his operating site before anyone can triangulate his position. Recovering the wire and getting away is part of the job.

nice built in morse key G7VFY. Who is drifting more, you or him?

[@LA6NCA]

My transmitter is crystal controlled and is 100% stable. But my receiver is very simple with three tubes, and is not completely stable.
