Secret Communications 3

Third day

Saturday: 7 December 2019

Marc is preparing the first generation of advanced "bugs" intercept rigs

Of which you find quite a range of gear.

Paul and Raymond in discussion just before the opening of our exhibition to day

Bart is preparing his Fialka gear; which he always takes home time and again

No visitors yet

The machine in front built in 1926; the next one in 1928; followed by on built about mid 1930s and next one built in 1944 for the GAF; then an M 4 sub-marine type and last Type K delivered to the Swiss about 1942

Viewing it from an opposite perspective 

Bart and two guests from Belgium, albeit one originally is Dutch

Kees, came along especially to surprise me, with whom I often have lively exchanges of, mutual, rather fruitful information

Kees - Raymond and Paul

Hans is listening at CW signals

For the first time the R IV receiver functions rather adequate; and CW stations, of various signal strength, being intercepted rather well.

This is where we always hope fore

On the right-hand someone from England, I might have once meat him before, though, where; was it in Berlin, in December 2017?

Karsten , Bart and Raymond, in the background Hans, end an unknown attendee

This picture is self explaining self-explaining

Self-explaining too

Towards the end of the exhibition

Bringing the obligatory proof, time-and-again, that after exhibition - all valuable machines being removed to elsewhere
