[TowerTalk] Ham Radio in Movie

[Larry Boekeloo]

Maybe this has been discussed before?????

Last evening I saw the beginning of "National Lampoon's Vacation" movie starring Chevy Chase and made in 1983.  When Chevy Chase purchases his new green Ford station wagon and drives it home for the first time, the camera shows him pulling into a circular driveway in the front of the home and clearly shows the neighbor with about a 70 or 80 foot telescoping tower with a large tribander on top.

This is suppose to be in or near Chicago.  Does anyone know where this is and who the ham is next door?

Just curious
