That is a very nice GDM. Military test gear of that time was go good. I have RF signal Generators, audio signal generators. etc that need a fork lift to move them but the sure work well.
RobtWB have you tried a loop antenna. The design is the best one for minimizing QRM. I used to run Butternut vertical antennas, great antenna but it could pickup a worn out Kirby Vacuum cleaner 10 miles away.
There was a Hardy Boys mystery where they were kidnapped. The brothers managed to seed out a SOS with a grid dip meter. I don't remember the details on how.
