Greetings! Now that we have retired all the castaways back to Gilligan's
Island; how about the shortwave radio on one of the Andy Griffith shows.
Remember the one with the Gypsies who were listening to shortwave to make long
term forcasts on the weather? I can't remember if it was a Hallicrafters or a
Hamerland . I believe it was a Hallicrafters.
It is always fun to look at the radios they had in the office as well. I seem
to remember old Colins stuff.
Just some more useless food for fodder. Have a great weekend! Jon.

In the office (jail), I believe there was an Eico transmitter on the desk.

It looked like a Hallicrafter SX-110.

Alright, who can answer this one: what was the radio that Herman Munster was
using during the episode where he became a Ham? (Don't expect me to answer
this because I'm not sure!)

According to this apparently it was homebrew. The site also gives his callsign,
and shows a copy of his QSL card.

Either an SX-110 or SX-111 Neither was battery operable as the show
portrayed it to be..
The jail transmitter was an Eico 720 ( CW only) that had a mic plugged into
the key jack. Sitting atop the 720 was an Eico CB transceiver. Prior to that
there was a Motorola rig in the jail.

Greetings! Now that we have retired all the castaways back to Gilligan's

"Reality" and "Gilligan's Island" in the same sentence.

how about the shortwave radio on one of the Andy Griffith shows.

The ham radio on "The Munsters" was definitely shortwave as Herman was talking
to people in other countries on it, including someone from Australia, halfway
around the world.
