Recordings of military radio traffic?

[landsknechte]

I'm trying to track down some WW2 German radio broadcasts. Mainly I'm looking for military radio traffic of various sorts (voice, CW, whatever), but if any one has any interesting links to civilian radio broadcasts, I'd be interested in checking those out as well.

Thanks,

(Forgive me if this is a duplicate thread. I've asked around in a few places, without much real luck. If I posted here once before, I can't find it.)

Try here: http://www.joeri.net/radiofiles

Also there is a program called CW communicator that will produce morse code from text files. So if you want to make up some messages you can convert them and play the recording.

scratch the cwcommunicator program. That isn't the one I was thinking about.

There are online morse code translators like: http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html

This will translate for you and has instructions on how to use Audacity (free) to record the morse output. You can use Audacity to edit the file looping it, extending it, etc.

I hope that helps.

I've bought a few of the files from Joeri in the past, and I'll probably pick up that one sometime in the future. I'm hideously underemployed at the moment, so I was hoping for free at the time being.

Update:

I got the military radio traffic file from Joeri, and I'm a bit let down. (I've been quite pleased with the music collections I've bought from her in the past.) The German section is the best of the bunch, but it's all cobbled together. Apart from the "bleed over" from civilian stations that's represented, there don't seem to be any real period recordings on there. I would have come up with better results if I mixed something up with recordings from my shortwave radio and some WW2 video games that I've got. In fact, that's what the whole thing sounds like - background atmospherics for some first person shooter. Nothing really serious.

The American recordings are especially bad (apart from three recordings from somewhere in the PTO that appear in the collection). Post 1956 NATO phonetics? Ouch.

I've emailed her with some "constructive criticism" as a reenactor, and perhaps some good will come of it.

I made the same comment to her. It really sounded like the track to an old video game I had.

Send me a PM. I have something you may be able to use.

Keep trying. That page is linked to her new page, but it appears to be down at the moment. Might be a hiccup with the ISP that she uses, but I was able to get in there pretty recently.
