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

I set up a fantastically good antenna and use this to call Norway on a German spy radio from the war.

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

[@LeopardAppaloosa755]

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

[@bitutube]

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.

Que nostalgia!

[@psnpacific]

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

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

[@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!

[@andrzejturkiewicz8624]

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

[@virilis]

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

[@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.

Great video! Enjoyed seeing such historic equipment in action.

Very nice setup, thank you sir!

Happy New Year brother great old radio

[@RadioProyectos]

Wonderfull demonstration ☺️👍👍👍👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@TomaszBorowskiTOM124q]

Superb !

[@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.

[@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

[@EC5ABG]

Muy bueno!!👍, 73.

[@larspregge6420]

Nice stuff. But with this, you will get HF in the Shack :P

[@Dromidont]

👍👍👍👍👍 73!

[@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.

[@sq7wojwojtek314]

SUPER VIDEO.......73

[@alexeyborealis4970]

Old school!

[@khalidtarawneh2289]

PLZ tell us more aboout these radios

[@stephenwalters9891]

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.

[@wolfiontour1276]

I always enjoy watching your videos. DH1FBL Wolf

Thanks. Let us know if you have any suggestions for new videos.

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.
