This week on Guy & Gus Ham Radio Gizmos: Gus's homebrew radio combiner takes down the entire neighborhood's power, we uncover the secret WWII ham radio operators who intercepted Nazi communications, and our AI assistant shocks Gus by matching his vintage radio expertise!In Episode 2, we explore the incredible story of the Voluntary Interceptors—over 1,500 amateur radio operators (many just teenagers) who secretly helped win World War II by listening to Nazi transmissions from their garden sheds. Most didn't learn what they were REALLY doing until 30 years later!Plus, Gus attempts to build a $15,000 radio combiner for $50 using salvaged TV parts. What could go wrong? (Hint: The power company got involved.)And in our Ask Aerial segment, Gus tests our AI assistant with a technical question about selenium rectifier replacement in vintage Hallicrafters receivers—and gets an answer that leaves him speechless.
