Not sure if he called it a 'Kelvinator', but Johnny/W5TMI in Bomerton,
TX (back in the 50's/60's) build up his 40m rig in a refrigerator...

Seems I recall that Mike (then)W5FZ, Lee/W0VT and Darrell/WA5VGO when
they resurrected the prototype KW-1, they played a patriotic tune. I
forget if it was the National Anthem or the Star Spangled Banner... but
on it's inaugural transmission, something patriotic was played.
