Newspaper reports WW2 activities of Radio Amateur G5HFThe Essex Chronicle newspaper tells the story of the role of Harry Heap G5HF as a World War 2 Voluntary Radio Interceptor. First licenced in 1932 as 2BZZ, Harry got the callsign G5HF in 1933. Following the outbreak of war he moved to Chelmsford where during the day he worked at Crompton on devices to neutralise magnetic mines and during the evenings worked as a Voluntary Radio Interceptor listening in to secret Nazi messages. The information he collected was passed to Bletchley Park for decoding. Harry later became President of the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) and retired from that role only a few weeks ago at the age of 93.
