[K3CAL] qsl card

[Dennis N3QHC]

The producer of the show who is a ham knew the FCC issues bogus callsigns
like the movies uses "555: telephone numbers.  With help of the ARRL this is
how that callsign came into being.

The producer of the show is a ham and they worked ham radio into Tim Allen's
character. Honestly I have only seen little bits and pieces of the show. I
did catch the Icom IC-9100 in the background in the part I watched.

Cool Bob, thanks for the heads up. I wonder how he got an experimental call
sign. Hummm...

I just learned of this from the digital group I belong to. I am sure most
everyone has heard of the TV show Last Man Standing with Tim Allen and its
involvement with ham radio. What I found out is that if you send a blank qsl
card to the address below (no SASE) you will get a card back signed by Tim
Allen. Worth the price of a stamp and a card to me.
Just send your blank QSL card to:
KA0XTT
4024 Radford Ave.
Studio City, CA 91604
