They've also got a thing for that young lady with the short dress and high
heels sitting in front of the radios in their showroom. Her photograph has
been in every single catalog I've received (for years). Universal says
they've been in business since 1942 and I have to wonder at this point if
that same photograph has been in the catalog throughout all that time.
Indeed, that "young woman" could be 70-80 years old today. However, the
dress, hair style, and style of high heels, suggests the picture was taken
in the 70's, which means she may only be 40-50 years old. :-)

Universal is a couple miles from my home. I've bought small items
from them, but have never ordered by mail any radio, so did not
comment on topic. But as far as the slender blond with the high heels
goes, I've seen her there and she's one of the hottest ladies in
amateur radio, but I don't think she has a license. She's probably in
her 40's.

That would be Barb Osterman... She is KC8VWI

Of course I'm right! You should have seen her about 18 years ago!

You should see her husband's (Fred) picture -- right from
the high school yearbook.

No, it's not... those pictures are of much more recent vintage than 20-30
years ago... guaranteed.

I think Michael was talking about the picture in the catalog (as 20-30
years ago), not the pictures on the web site. The woman in the catalog is
much younger looking - perhaps the same woman, but an older picture of her.

It's hard to tell if the picture in the catalog and the pictures on the
web site are of the same woman. None of the pictures are close-ups of the
face. Regardless, the woman on the web site certainly does fill out that top
very nicely.
