And has anyone seen a movie called "High Frequency"?
Ham radio also plays a big part in that, as it does in
"Frequency". A ham in Switzerland, who actually had a
HB9 prefix, was transmitting on an Icom receiver (not
sure which one) to work a kid in New England, who had
the wrong prefix for the US. Also, the US ham was
working Switzerland in the middle of the afternoon
here on 2.0 mhz.
