E'er we forget Outer Limits 60s episode, "Galaxy Being", filmed largely in/around, IIRC, Mt. Hollywood TV site. Monitors galore and - yes! - great big Motorola VHF mitters w/speaker in center, doubtless VHF analog Lo-Band, last truly decent form of VHF communication. P-25? For what, P-25? APC

There is some noir movie from the late 40s-early 50s (which I can't remember the name of) that had a murder in it and a KPIX television truck pulled up...a 1930s vintage paneled van. I got a good chuckle. I bet the people at Channel 5 in San Francisco would too. Mike On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 1:

Mike and Patrick, Thx guys, I figured it had to be a fictionalized call sign, but you never know until you ask. Maybe we should create a listing of fictional radio stations: KLVW, KBBL and so on. 73 de Joe On Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:09:45 -0700, Mike Hawkins wrote > I checked my records today, a

I have two radio station guides from 1928 and 1929. Neither of them shows KLVW as being an active call. Of course it may have been issued after these guides were published. Maybe the movie was promoting the area's newest radio station! In 1928 San Francisco had KFRC (610), KFWI (930), KGTT (1420)

Warmest greetings everyone, Last night, Turner Classic Movies was showing The Maltese Falcon (the original with Bogart) which I've only seen at least 10 times, hi. There is one scene in Sam Spade's office at night and looking out the window, there are various lit signs for several hotels, stor
