W1HIS
We recreated/reenacted the field wireless station of Headquarters Company, 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, in Normandy, France, June 1944. Our radios, accessories, generator, uniforms and other military kit were original. Our antennas, feedlines, and masts were period-correct recreations. Wireless telegraphers Chuck Counselman W1HIS and Barbara Lombardi K1EIR were assisted by Lew Merritt WA1HZG and Bill Max (RSM, 1CanPara, Reenacted). -- W1HIS
