[CW] Famous Radio Hams and What They Did for a Living – Ham Radio Insider

[Benny K5KV]

ONE FAMOUS HAM MISSING WAS ANDY DEVINE THE ACTOR.  I DO NOT RECALL HIS
CALLSIGN BUT EONS AGO WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL IN RURAL LOUISIANA, I
WORKED A MOBILE STATION ON 75 METER SSB.  IT WAS ANDY'S VERY UNIQUE GRAVELY
VOICE.

ANOTHER SUMMER DAY ON 10 METER SSB I WORKED SOME WB6 IN CALIFORNIA WHO WAS
AN ACTOR ON SOME SOAP OPERA.  JUST ANOTHER HAM RAG CHEW.

BARRY GOLDWATER SENATOR AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN 1964 WAS K7UGA AND
HAD A K3(UIG?) CALL.  I WORKED HIM SEVERAL TIMES.

THERE ARE MORE IF ANYONE CAN REMEMBER THEM.
