For those who get the SYFY
channel, they have a marathon run going of the Twilight Zone right now. The one called Monsters Are Due on Maple Street is
just coming on (1960). This is the one where suspicion things happen in a power
outage and they blame a neighbor because he's a ham radio operator. They think
he talks to monsters from outer space from his basement where he stays up all
night. Sound familiar?
The little town I grew up in
was located on the fringe of TV reception back in those days. Everyone there knew
I was the kid that was a ham. They didn't accuse me of talking to monsters but
they sure knew when I fired up on 6 meters with my home made KW on AM.
Check it out.
