For those of use who went through CD training, Jericho is an "example
of what not to do".
The only thing this show has going is the human drama. Everything else
is too bogus
for words.

And given the lack of running water, everyone looks a damn site cleaner
then I would
expect.

So Watch the show, and enjoy the fun. It is the funniest thing since
"Voyage to the
bottom of the Sea".

Oh, like when 'Sparks', using a BC-348, monitored Radio Moscow while
at 200 Fathoms?

In one of the early episodes of 'Jericho,' though, Hawkins WAS taking
CW on HF.

I believe he was using a VHF receiver to do it, though.

FT101. It has been too long, 25+ years, since I last used an FT101, so
there
are too many versions fo me to be sure which version it is.

An early hybrid, transistor receive, vacumm tube TX. Nice beginner ham
HF rig
back then.

This show has enough humour that if I ration it correctly it will last
a decade!
