[Yaesu] A Yaesu spotted on TV

[Reicher, James]

I don't know... sounds like many of the types I meet at hamfests and
club meetings. :)

Didn't see it but heard from local clubmembers that the 'ham' on the
show
was rough, dirty, and a very unpleasant sort.  They complained that CBS
"didn't do hams any favors" by portraying them that way.

I was just setting up the VCR to tape "Criminal Minds"
to watch later tonight, so I had the TV set to CBS
while programming it.  Suddenly I heard Morse Code,
and first thought that I had left the HT on and was
hearing the repeater ID.  But no, the code was coming
from the TV.  I missed the first bit of it, but the
last word was "Schools".

Right after that you got to see a nice Yaesu FT101
model (couldn't tell which one), and what looked like
a Shure desk mic hooked to it.  

The show was "Jerico" and glad to see that one of the
producers has fine taste in equipment.  Anyone else
see this?
