There's a story going around that both Eisenhower and Kennedy had a
Hallicrafters SX-62 installed on their respective planes. I don't know
if they did any SWLing. They may have just used the radio to listen to
local AM or FM stations as they traveled around. Johnson had a stack of
TVs, each tuned to a different channel. I like the idea that a
president might check the media reports, even if it's just to see if the
public is getting the story right or not.


Yeah, I know Frank if I were in their spots I'd dfinitely be setup (receiver
wise) to the hilt. I wonder what is on Air Force One. {?}

I might check and see what I can find on that.
