For Contact, Angel, WP3R was around for the filming in Arecibo. QSL was shot during the filming. They even got some of the small details right. Scene with books in the background, copy of Antennas by Kraus (W8JK).

IIRC, an early scene in the movie "Contact" pretty much got the ham  
experience close to reality.  Not perfect, but close.

BTW.... for a true "stealth" ham rig, you'd think a KX1, KX3.. or  
ATS-3 or 4.. or a true "spy set" would be what a real spy might use.
But maybe Ford was not playing a spy, so a boat anchor was OK plot- 
wise.  Doesn't look like we will get the see the movie, unless they  
release it on DVD and it shows up in a dollar store.
