Crock..

ON December 7, 1941 were were reading ZERO Japanese OPerational Naval Messages. Either in whole or in part. Why?..because they had changed the additive books on their naval codes on December 1 The also changed the code from JN-25A to JN-25B.

Broke radio silence?...not according to the Japanese Naval Communications who ran their communications plan and its corrollary decpetion plan. They were transmiting like sumbitches. But it wasn't Kido Butai doing the transmitting. They aren't stupid.

Stinnett's book is a joke and has been roundly bashed by crypanalysts. Read the review by Budiansky in Cryptologia. Stinnett didn't know his fanny from a frequency.

On SSB ... agreed. And this phrase-locked loop, synchronous detection, DSP stuff, ... , etc. Why? Use a 6DC6 (as in R-390's) or even better a 6BZ6 (HQ-180AC) for first RF ... and Wow!!!

Of course, antenna design is another issue. There a R/S ESH 3 is quite nice.

73 and VA.
