In exceptional cases where the ris i:e run by the radio agent can be reduced to an acceptable minimum, a two-%ley contact could be considered. The expense involved would not be very great. Two or three rooms ) situated in the top floor of . a high building or tower. or the possibility to mount a special short wave antenna on the roof of such a structure would be neceesary. A four man team would suffice for the prbeent. Getting the necessary equipment would present no problem. These ultra short wave station° could also be need for abort wave monitoring. This type of station was sorely missed on 17 June. The ultra short wave traffic of the IMP. of the Soviet Army units converging on Berlin, and of the state police, could all have been easily monitored. On top of this. such a station in Berlin could have monitored ultra short wave traffic of the Soviet air units which cannot be heard in West Germany. The organization would be particu- larly grateful for support in this matter. Our use of U.S. facilities could be profitable if we Gould use them to cover the operation of our own instrument. The Project *WM - Bove Station in Berlin* is very high priority'and requires basic preparations which require time. Ter this reason we suggest a start as soon as possible with two or three people. L.

Id many cases this method was used with considerable ,success. Various °beer,- 'rations lead to to the conclusion that the Soviets are maktng use of this method on a large scale. In this case, as it the case of short wave radio, we believe that an intelligence service must Utilise all possibilities, and in particular those which have been proveu of value over the years. The German radio stations are unfortunately not available to ma at present. VAC Berlin is the station best suited for,our purpose. Vs should try this method, even if only with one agent.
