[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 793840, member: 46690"] That's great! Good for you, I hope you get the Big Stick up eventually. They need to hear you all the way out to Rangoon! Jean Shepherd was arguably the most gifted radio personality ever, an opinion held especially among radio announcers. You may know him from the movie "A Christmas Story", which was compiled from some of his short stories, and he also narrated the movie. He was a lifelong ham, starting in his youth - including during his stint in military where he was part of the Signal Corps. He often talked about it on the air. Here's a clip from one of his shows on WOR (New York) talking about ham, and I chose it because he mentions he was using that exact same mic that you have: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akyTVNorXQ8[/url] And if you run a YouTube search with "Jean Shepherd ham radio", you get a ton more :) [/QUOTE]
