[ICOM] Icom spotting on TV

[Jerry Flanders]

In the 2005 remake of "King Kong", the radio in the ship's radioroom 
is receiving CW in one scene. It was during a slow part of the movie 
prior to the appearance of the ape. I almost fell out of my chair 
laughing when the code spelled out "SHOW ME THE MONKEY".
