SJDXA Members,

As most of you already know, I was part of the filming of the movie Paranoia last summer. At that time, I asked if I could borrow the SJDXA FT1000MKV and the Drake dummy load for the filming in case it was desired..

Here is the rest of the story.

John K2TQN, Jeff KB2CIX (John’s son) and I have been working with the film people so that we could write articles for magazines (QST for John and CQ for me) describing our experience. The production people have been wonderful and have provided us with a couple of pictures that we will be able to use from the film, for use in the magazine articles.

A few days ago, I asked if we (John, Jeff and I) could be listed in the credits for the movie. We were just told that they would only give credit to a “company”, and not individuals. I then asked if they would list a “club” instead of a “company” and they agreed. After discussing this with John, we agreed that since SJDXA provided at least some of the equipment, that we ask if the club could be listed in the film credits. They agreed.

We both felt that “some” credit was better than “no” credit, in the interest of Amateur Radio. Although most of the radio equipment in the scene was John’s, a couple of pieces were mine, and one was SJDXA’s, we ALL brought an assortment of stuff for the movie prop people to select from including a brand new FTDX 5000 borrowed from Yaesu which was not used.

 

As such, at the end of the movie, in the credits, you SHOULD be seeing something like: 

Amateur Radio Equipment and Consulting by “The South Jersey DX Association”.

 

I would like to nominate John as an honorary SJDXA member. Not only for allowing us to use our club in the credits, but additionally John provided us with considerable funds for our coax project.

The two most powerful tech billionaires in the world (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) are bitter rivals with a complicated past who will stop at nothing to destroy each other.  A young superstar (Liam Hemsworth), seduced by unlimited wealth and power falls between them, and becomes trapped in the middle of the twists and turns of their life-and-death game of corporate espionage.  By the time he realizes his life is in danger, he is in far too deep and knows far too much for them to let him walk away.
