> In 1941 two agents from New Zealand's Security Intelligence Bureau 
> asked amateur radio enthusiast Jack Fox to monitor enemy radio 
> broadcasts and pass on information to the government.
> Jack and other DXers Such as Arthur Cushen, formed a network of 
> eavesdroppers on enemy transmissions from Europe the middle east and 
> Japan. The Dxers were also able to pick up lists and messages from New 
> Zealand prisoners of war well before they were received here 
> officially. Many wives, mothers and fathers had their minds eased by 
> news over shortwave that their loved ones were still alive but 
> imprisoned. Both Jack Fox And Arthur Cushen met people they knew on 
> the street and told them that their son or husband had been captured.
> By the end of the war over 6000 messages had been relayed home from 
> POWs by amateur radio operators.
