But oh, Egg the flying Rocket hatched from, navel of the 50-meter radio sky, all proper ghosts of place […]
[Gravity's Rainbow. Thomas Pynchon. p.509]
EM-inspired experimentation is viewed as a highly practical investigation of the relationship between technology and substance or materiality. We are concerned here with a physical landscape and the exposure of its otherwise hidden electromagnetic double using simple electronic devices. We will also discuss the intentionality of transmission and ghost radio phenomena in relation to the history of communications technologies.

2] Radio beam remote V2 guidance system notes:
The development of the instruments was given to the navigations department of the firm “Lorenz”. They delivered Leitstrahl-(LS)-facheranlage Viktoria” appearing in Nov. of 1940 as a 500 watt adjusting transmitter for the UKW beacon. This transmitter had a frequency of 45 Mhz and was probably developed from a landing beacon. It was a “Phasedreiglieder” twice with a deflector contained a horizontal dipole antenna, that was set up at a distance of 8-15 km's behind the launchpad. One of the antennas was direct connected to the transmitter and the other was attached to a “drehkondensator” in a tastverhaltnis 1:1 and 30 times per minute changed in phase. You can see the opposing V2 rocket dipole antenna attached on later production V2 pictures, coming out of the trailing edge of the rocket fins. The plans for this bunker were drawn up in September of 1943.
Synchronous switching of the modulation tone was to take place between 5-7 kHz. Two fan-shaped signals, with different modulation tones, formed the beams of only 0.0125 degrees. These would overlap in places, resulting in an amplitude difference of the modulation of about 5%. The system had to be adjusted very exactly, since the strength of the main beam in relation to the inversely formed counter beam only amounted to 2 degrees.
