I watched an episode of Drake and Josh
on nick.

their younger sister in the story was a ham,
nice kenwood station too.

anyway, they played trick on her to make her think
she copied an ET signal and 'landed' in her backyard.

note: both of these guys used a borrowed rig and were not licensed
to play the prank.

The Wikipedia article mentions that the father/son team in _Frequency_
used "vintage Heathkit equipment".

They did: it was an SB-301 "transceiver".

That must have been a _really_ potent Aurora!

hi bill,

Yes, great movie to watch, better in the theatre then at home.

One flaw, the antenna used in 1969 was not available back then.

With all the Ham Shacks In all the world, you think they could consult with
some and get it right. (;-)

Default Ham Radio In Movies and TV

In "Some Like It Hot," with Marilyn Monroe et. al., Joe E. Brown's character
(Osgood Fielding III) is shown on his yacht using a Hallicrafters S-20R
receiver (?) to telephone the hotel.

http://antiqueradio.org/art/temp/hallis20r.jpg

Have to wonder how that could work, since the S-20R can't transmit anything,
and the cord from Osgood's telephone handset is plugged into the headphone
jack.

I'm guessing that a propmaster saw the Send/Receive switch and guessed this
was a two-way radio of some sort.

Oh well . . . that's Hollywood!

Might give new meaning to the term "ham radio" :-)
