During WW2, the Germans employed a portable Direction Finding (DF) device to track down Allied SOE agents by homing in on their radio broadcasts.
Through triangulation, this tool enabled them to determine the origin of the radio signals. Capture often meant severe consequences.
Kirsty MacColl would have been 65 this week. Her debut solo single "They Don't Know", (1979), reached no 2 on the Music Week airplay chart. However, a distributors' strike prevented the single getting into record shops, and the single failed to appear on the Singles Chart.
#KirstyMacColl is one of the most underrated singers of all time IMO. She has always been one of my favourite singers and taken too early in a boating accident. @BBC2 #BBC2

It’s very hard to believe it’s 21 years ago today we lost the fella that inspired so many of us to either watch or ride Motorcycles. It certainly did me. RIP Bazza 7 . Thanks.

"We need to do more," the Danish Prime Minister emphasized.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called on European countries to provide Ukraine with ammunition and air defense systems, as Ukraine needs them more than ever.
Frederiksen said this during a speech at the 7th Ukrainian Lunch in Munich, organized by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
The head of the Danish government noted that there is not enough attention paid to the urgency of transferring the weapons Ukraine needs now in the discussions at the Munich Security Conference.
Thank you for your support!
It's gloomy and foggy in Kyiv. The news are not good, we are under attacks and we are exhausted. But I get up and do what I have committed to do regardless of the weather, news and my mood.
So do thousands and thousands of Ukrainians. We've learned not to hide behind exhaustion, not to search for someone to take over - but to do what needs to be done. We do not wait for the future. We create it and we fight for it here and now.
This is the reality we've got now and there's no other one. It's unfair and horrible most of the time. But we can change it - with actions.
We will stand. And we will find the strength within ourselves - again and again.
