Greetings! Now that we have retired all the castaways back to Gilligan's
Island; how about the shortwave radio on one of the A

"Reality" and "Gilligan's Island" in the same sentence.

how about the shortwave radio on one of the Andy Griffith shows.

The ham radio on "The Munsters" was definitely shortwave as Herman was talking
to people in other countries on it, including someone from Australia, halfway
around the world.
