Was that Phil Silver???? Not sure if he was 40's era or not, but I used to watch him back in the 50's on TV when I was a kid.

In one skit he played a radio-class instructor disgusted with a new class of underachieving recruits who were there to learn the code. He chastised them for not studying while bragging that he could teach anyone the code, even "a dog," which cracked up the studio audience (or, I'm not sure which, prompted the laugh-track operator to open it up all the way). Being not quite 50, I wasn't there. I bet a few of you were :) I couldn't find his name with a web search. Anyone have a clue? tnx Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
