That was the real benefit of having pros as mentors. They seemed to know every 
trick to get the shot that was needed. I had never heard of High-Speed 
Recording Film until Danny told me about it. Then he told me to push the 
development to move the ASA from 1000 to 4000. The football shots were a little 
grainy, but the action was captured, and it made little difference in the 
newspaper picture.

 I worked for Channel 2 for 25 years and we had several Chevy Blazers that were 
equipped with dozens of radios and scanners. They belonged to Jack Cato, Phil 
Archer, John Treadgold, John Steiger and Mike Patrick. They had official 
Houston FD Motorola Motracs with scanning control heads that were really cool.

I knew Chief Max as well. There used to be a web site in his name with a lot of 
fire photos, I know some were Othell’s. I have copys of these some place. Jim 
were any photos yours?

Othell was a good friend and mentor for me during my college and early "after 
graduating" years. I met him through a neighbor who was a District Fire Chief, 
Max MacRae. I was doing a lot of freelance spot news photography then. After he 
was burned in the Mykawa Road railcar explosion, he recovered at Houston 
Methodist Hospital, where I worked. I visited him almost daily. Every time I 
pick up a camera, I think of him and his "well equipped" car.

Back in the late 60”s early 70’s I worked at a 2 way radio shop. There was a 
Houston Chronicle reporter Othell Onsby (not sure of the spelling) that drove a 
car with this many antennas on it.  I remember he had like 6 or 7 motrac 2 way 
radios & a stack of 6 or 7 Sonar scanners on the passenger side floorboard. He 
monitored every police & fire dept in the Houston area. I worked on that car 
many times. He was critically burned in the 1974 Mykawa train derailment & 
explosion. Spent many months in the Hospital but went right back to work after 
his release, burns quite visible. He was a good guy. Always friendly, Robert

My assumption would be that none of the cameras or the antennas are actually 
attached to anything.   it is either an art car or something designed to scare 
away the hoodlums in an apartment. 
 
who has 20 radios to attach all the antennas to, and the cameras would need a 
DVR running on 120v  and while not impossible it is unlikely.

Not with Disabled Vet plates. Interesting to see all the cameras on the roof. 
Those have to be for an LPR.
