NETFLIX “GLORIA” MUST SEE!

NETFLIX “GLORIA” MUST SEE!
I had a ham radio contact with a Portuguese station. We talked about shortwave radio, and he told me about the new Netflix series “Gloria”. The backdrop is The Radio Free Europe transmitter at Gloria, Portugal in 1968, in the midst of the Cold War. It’s technically well researched and full of espionage and intrigue. I just saw the first episode. This is a must see.
