Re: [AMRadio] Camp X Field Day
Hi Eddy, Thanks for the message--we really appreciate the interest. We don't currently have the Ar-88 but I know we will have an HRO (ex RCAF), our 19 set, and a model 28 KSR that is original to the camp. We'll be putting out some RTTY, but not with the heavy metal(this year). I havent heard what the other amateur radops are bringing for vintage as of yet. I will have my trusty AN/GRC-19 there though to keep up appearances Interesting point with the AR-88's, they were actually the second style of xcvr used there. First sets were HRO's used at the farm house becase the staion wasn't complete. The AR-88's came into play once the triple rhombics were set up-hence the triple diversity. Operated quite nicely when working Bletchley Park. Post war the built a new solid concrete building which housed the big transmitter which put out in the area of 125 KW. Out of interest that building is/was located under the berm beneath the monument. Guess we'll find out when we start digging our test holes for the museum!

Re: [AMRadio] Camp X Field Day
Hi Matthew, Does your group have plans to include a vintage, 40's era set-up at the site, as well as the more modern gear...? A receiver like the RCA AR-88 comes to mind, which WAS, indeed, used in the original Camp X radio room (condfirmed by photos in the lobby of Lear Seating, which is presently located nearby). ~73!~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ - Original Message - From: "VE3ZQW-Matthew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 11:39 PM Subject: [AMRadio] Camp X Field Day > On the weekend of June 7-8 the Camp X Historical Society (www.campxhistoricalsociety.ca) with the radio amateurs of the Durham Region will be doing their annual radio re-activation of the former Spy training and SIGINT operation known as Camp X. > Operation will be on all HF bands with all modes planned.

[AMRadio] Camp X Field Day
On the weekend of June 7-8 the Camp X Historical Society (www.campxhistoricalsociety.ca) with the radio amateurs of the Durham Region will be doing their annual radio re-activation of the former Spy training and SIGINT operation known as Camp X. Operation will be on all HF bands with all modes planned. Callsign for the event will be VE3SCX. Frequencies will depend on conditions at the time. Camp X, located outside of Toronto, was in operation from 1941 til 1969 teaching the art of intelligence, sabotage while operation as a relay station between Great Britain, Canada, and the USA. Next year our group will be building a museum to pay tribute to these secret warriors.
