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.

73,
