Arthur Godfrey used to do his Tee Vee entertainment show wayyyy out

there on the end of that San Francisco Pier. Then he moved to Hawaii.

Hawaiian shirt and a Hawaiian flower thingy (///Luau, WOOF!///)

around his neck and that little Ukelele. Instead of saying Hello

Hello Hello, he would say, Hawaii Hawaii Hawaii. I used to watch him

on Tee Vee, wayyyyyyyy back then. He was in the U.S. Air Force too.



...and he was a ham radio operator, W4LIB.



Seems to me I recall hearing him when he was in Florida perhaps, though I

think his call might have been K4LIB.



Seems to me, trying to recall, perhaps it was also him who had two R-71

receivers, or R-70's, tuned to various maritime communications. Or maybe it

was another celebrity.



Maybe someone else remembers.



It might have been Jackie Gleason. (Whichever one lived in Florida).

Dredging back in the memory, it's from an article in Monitoring Times

from a guy who owned a radio store there. (I also remember it coming

up on one of the daytime talk shows during the '60s or '70s like Merv

Griffith or Dick Cavett)?



Probably listening into phone calls from cruise ships. They were full

duplex, so you needed two receivers to hear both sides. Are there any

HF voice marine shore stations left?
