ZC6NX 1938 Nablus, Palestine

After the end of World War Two, Major Ellis became Senior Technical Officer of the Near East Broadcasting Service ( a.k.a. Middle East Broadcasting Service) - which had been Sharq al Adna (Voice of Britain), a clandestine broadcast station in Jaffa, Palestine, during the war.

From Wikipedia -
"Just before the British left Palestine, in early May 1948, the station was moved to Cyprus (which still was under British control). In Cyprus the station initially used four short-wave transmitters near Limasol. After the armistice in 1948, the station seemed to be aiming to make the programs as popular as possible, thereby attracting advertisers. News and music were large ingredients. The station had a staff of about 70 in Cyprus, in addition to many news correspondents around the Arab world. In the early 1950s the potential audience size increased greatly, as they also started transmitting on a medium-wave transmitter."

For interest, I'm attaching a scan of a card from the broadcast station, while it was in Jaffa. An attractive card.
