I have been reading an excellent new book about the history of the coast radio service.
There is a description of the WWII Emergency Inland Wireless Telegraph network, this was a network with transmitters in major towns and cities that could pass traffic in the event of major disruption of landline etc.
It got me wondering, many years ago I saw one of the usual ET4336 transmitters at a Medium Wave transmitter site (Burghead?). It had a Morse key attached to the top. Was there a BBC WT network in WWII for passing important traffic are were they able to communicate with the GPO WWII Emergency Inland Wireless Telegraph network or with a military site?
