Re post #30:

I was recently given a TNA file on "Squeaker" beacons which, as James says, were used to roughly indicate that an a/c was close to the various UK balloon barrages. The file has the various (HF) frequencies listed and a technical manual for the ground beacons, they were NOT attached to the balloons but were set up close to the barrage. They did not emit an identification and so were not much use in finding the a/c posistion.

Cheers

Roger
