Tuesday night: The Unit had several ham radios and operators in use in the show. The only brand of radio I remember was a Heathkit 90-w Novice transceiver. There were others.
The beginning was the star sending CW with a microphone, followed by a relay to another who was using a code book to look up each letter as it came in. :-} Then another used a nice bug to send the information on. The whole operation was less than a minute with cutting back and forth from radio to operators.
The Simpsons (below) also had another TV show with ham radio. Marge's sisters (the ones who smoke and have husky voices) are hams. It was a funny episode where they were looking for a new boyfriend via radio, as I recall.

Wow - I just saw a recent 2007 episode of "The Simpsons" on TV and it involved ham radio, of all things! My XYL says it is a re-run, so maybe someone else already watched this one.
