The Radio That Didn't Kill Eli Cohen
Episode 5254
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Eli Cohen transmitted Morse from Damascus every morning at 8:30. The official story says Syrian direction-finding triangulated his signal and got him killed. But the interrogation records tell a different story — one where the radio may never have been the problem at all. This episode pulls apart the physics of HF direction finding, the tradecraft of fixed-schedule transmissions, and the uncomfortable possibility that a dinner party with a Nazi war criminal did what no listening post could.
