Amateur radio is an excellent tool for finding the opinion of those close to an event without bias.

I have spoken to the scientists in Antarctic, and once did a very brief QSO with Troops in Iraq during the War, IDF Soldiers in the 90's out on recon in tanks, Secret Sub base in then USSR, Fine Police Chief middle of night patrol, Professors in Turkey, Egypt, and perhaps even one of the mentioned "Celebs" because on Amateur Radio every one is just a friendly Call Sign.

Fred Gwynne, the actor that played Herman Munster among many other roles in shows and movies such as Car 54, CBS Radio Mystery Theater and My Cousin Vinny was an Amateur Radio operator.

Not true. During World War II, Gwynne served in the United States Navy as a radioman on a submarine chaser but was never a licensed ham. ONLY his character Herman Munster was a fictional ham.

Actually, with Tim Allen it was the other way around. His character was written as a ham largely because one of the show’s producers was a licensed amateur radio operator. It was only toward the end of the series that Tim Allen actually became a Technician Class Operator.

The only ones I ever contacted were JY1 King Hussain of Jordan and HZ1AA who was the USA Ambassador in Saudia Arabia. Sadly I missed Barry Goldwater the USA Senator.

The late Art Bell, radio talk show host, was also a ham operator. I think most of the people on this list are dead.

Patty Loveless allowed her license to drop and is no longer a Ham

David Letterman is an avid Shortwave listener.

@Plasmastorm73_n5evv 4 ай бұрын

Not a ham so it doesn't merit mentioning. ANYONE can be a listener. Just buy a radio.

@@Plasmastorm73_n5evv Well excuse me! Shortwave listening is not a very popular hobby and most Hams start as listeners. I’ll give you another then… Jean Shepherd, author, radio personality and creator of “A Christmas Story” had W9QWN as his callsign.
