HERMAN MUNSTER WAS A HAM
Most folks don't know it, but Herman Munster was a HAM
RADIO OPERATOR! In episode number 18, which first aired on January 21, 1965
Herman is goofing around with his ham radio set (which is apparently a homebrew
-naturally- transceiver with headphones, microphone, large horn style speaker,
a large quantity of tubes, one HUGE tube and a bank card: of dry cell
batteries) when he overhears some kids playing Martian with their
walkie-talkies. Naturally the kids lead Herman and Grandpa into thinking there
really ARE Martians on Earth, and being good citizens they notify the airforce.
Most significant trivia we learn from this episode is Hermans call: W6XRL4
