If you had viewed the entire contents of this video you would know that Walter Cronkite’s call sign was KB2GSD.
By the way, Barry Goldwater’s call sign was K7UGA. And there are a number of other famous hams.

Does anyone know if “Ol’ Walt” was licensed? I seem to remember that he was maybe not. Any help?
@KC0TCH sorry you …
@KC0TCH sorry you have misconstrued my lighthearted remark. The irony in it was meant to indicate that it’s almost as if some people would wish for a disaster so that they could find application for their radio skills.
I don’t wish for disasters nor do I advocate or condone any inappropriate on air behaviour whatsoever.

Folks, an Amateur Radio license (Ham Radio) does not require knowledge of Morse Code anymore! The test to obtain a license is multiple choice, and easy to get (2 nights of study).

If you don’t register you should still read the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual so you know what your doing on air.

I finally finnished reading the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual. I filed for and recived a Federal Registration Number (FRN) at the FCC’s web site. Next step visit the SARATOGA FIRE STATION (which is the closest place to me giving the tests) and take the Level 1 Technician class test.
@licencefreeham the …
@licencefreeham the reason they don’t like that is because it is illegal you can get into a lot of trouble like that. also that callsign you made up is an instant give away they use certain codes depending on your location your callsign does not meet that standerd.

Walter Cronkite was a big liberal phony, who had a liberal agenda. It is also a known fact that he became a ham so that he could meet young boys, if you know what I mean there jerky !
Although i love …
Although i love this hobby there is way too much negativity from the old school hams towards the new hams. yeah i know the CW test is gone and the testing is a lot less technical than it was “back in the day” but we cant help that. Pretty much for the most part, alot of the hams ive met are well, assholes, and very cold towards the new hams. just go to any ham club and you will see what i mean. This has to change or the hobby will die off.
