Watched the first James Bond movie - Dr. No which I last saw in 1962.
still a good movie.
Early in the movie in a house in Jamaica, a bookcase with a false front
is opened revealing a Geloso transmitter and a really old Eddystone
receiver. A lady turns the gear on and communicates with headquarters in
the UK. The headquarters setup is a bank of Racal receivers. The call
signs used are actually close to ham calls but incorrect prefixes for
the countries.
