Sweetums you silly old putz, once again you're demonstrating how
completely out of touch with ham radio you really are. You want actors
who have been or are hams? We got 'em Sweets. In spades. How 'bout
Marlon Brando KE6PZH/FO5GJ?

Yup. In his 1994 interview with Larry King:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIP...04/lkl.00.html

Mr. Brando confirmed it thusly:

[...]

CALLER: Hi, thanks for taking my call.

Mr. Brando, I hope this is not -- isn't a frivolous question, but I
understand you're a ham radio operator, or you were, and I wonder if
you'd mind talking about that? And I appreciate it.

BRANDO: I am a ham radio operator. And the thing I enjoyed about it is
anonymity, because When you call up and you say, "This is Marlon Brando
calling," they give you the routine -- any famous person.

KING: So what did you call as? What -- take a name, you mean?

BRANDO: Oh, I don't know. You call the store, and they say, "What's your
name?" "Marlon Brando," and they say, "Yes, I'm Greta Garbo," and they
hang up. And, so...

KING: It's fun, though?

BRANDO: What?

KING: It was fun?

BRANDO: I still am a ham radio operator. As a matter of fact, I'm
updating my license, and I think it's wonderful. And with the new
international highway of communications, it is now very quickly falling
upon us. It's going to be tied up with computers. As a matter fact, I'm
on Online America.

[...]

Or Priscilla Presley.

Certainly. Though you have to look her up under her maiden name of
"Beaulieu" to find her in the callbook (N6YOS).

Will Donnie Osmond
KA7EVD or Andy Devine WB^RER do? Then there's always Brigadier General
Jimmy Stewart N6KGB . . want the rest of the list?

N6KGB was not the actor credited as Jimmy Stewart ("It's a Wonderful
Life", "Mr Smith Goes to Washington", etc.). However, he was an actor,
who appeared in credits by another name, Stewart Granger:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001289/

I recommend him in "King Solomon's Mines" and "Prisoner of Zenda."

I say if such happened, AMPAS would have some unkind words
for the League...and some wide-ranging PR contacts of its
own that the ARRL could never top... :-)

There's quite a few copies of the list out there. Most of them are
pretty accurate, but most of them also have a few errors and omissions
here and there.

This is probably the most complete, and best-researched, version:

Sweetums you silly old putz, once again you're demonstrating how
completely out of touch with ham radio you really are.

Oh, oh, the "Trustee from the Tool Room" stepped out of
his little machine shop and re-reading of "Gullible's
Travels" to babble some inanities about Inane Radio:

You want actors
who have been or are hams? We got 'em Sweets. In spades.

"In spades?" Oh, my, NO. US amateur radio does NOT
attract "persons of color!" Hardly ANY black people
are shown in ham magazine photographs.

How 'bout Marlon Brando KE6PZH/FO5GJ?

What about him? He was a borderline nut-case, a recluse,
despite being recognized by his craft as one of the top-
most ACTORS of his or any time. Unquestionably a great
ACTOR, one who would make the audience really believe
he WAS the character he portrayed. Yes, he owned a
whole island in French Polynesia and liked screwing
around with French women. Feel free to ACT that part,
why don't you? :-)

Do you have a VALID copy of his French license certificate?
Does anyone? Is it really an amateur license or is it
a commercial one? Is there a US record of "KE6PZH" that is
VALID? No. The only "record" is HERESAY, on someone's list
on the Internet. A quick search on the Internet will come
up with many COPIES of that same "list" on other sites.
Copying the SAME list over and over again doesn't make it
true.

Did Marlon Brando have a dog named "Fideaux?" :-)

Tsk, you will find that celebrities generate all kinds of
tales from all the wanna-bes, those that want to attach
Their activity to the rich/famous...in hopes that others
will "respect" them by having the rich/famous aura rub off
on them.

Marlon Brando was born Marlon Brando. His surname came
from (way back) a German immigrant who spelled it 'Brandau'
then offspring altered it to 'Brandow' and finally to
'Brando.' The "Brandeaux" surname doesn't appear in USA
records for Marlon Brando. Not at the FCC, not anywhere
except in some AMATEUR Innernet listings...which the listers
say "isn't 'absolutely' accurate." Read the fine print at
those "list" sites.

Am I or anyone SUPPOSED to accept the ARRL's "word" for
it that whatever They say is "TRUTH?" No. ARRL is a
membership organization and a publication manufacterer.
Like all sales and marketing folk, they are purveyors
of "feeling good" to their buyers. They "make an offer
ya can't refuse." :-)

Or Priscilla Presley.

No official record.

Will Donnie Osmond KA7EVD or Andy Devine WB^RER do?

Neither one is a recognized ACTOR. Not here in this part
of the USA that is also the entertainment capitol of the
world.

There is NO official record of Donnie Osmond the enter-
tainer as "KA7EVD." Station callsign "WB6RER" belongs
to the Kingman, AZ, "Haualapai Amateur Radio Club" and
that ARC says "they celebrate Andy Devine Day annually."
NO connection between entertainment person Andy Devine
and official US records seem to exist.

Note: Younger folk cannot 'connect' to Andy Devine of
many years ago, that being before their time. They
MIGHT be able to recognize 'Devine,' a transsexual
actor of more modern times. NO relationship.

Then there's always Brigadier General Jimmy Stewart N6KGB

There is? :-) On official records of the FCC, his
name would appear as 'James Stewart' or 'James M. Stewart'
or possibly 'James Maitland Stewart." Depending on the
list source, there are (4) 'James M. Stewart' listings
atwww.qrz.organd (8) listings for 'James M. Stewart'
atwww.arrl.org. He was called AND listed as 'Jimmy
Stewart' in the movie and TV industry out of affection
of his fellow craftspersons. Strangely, the only
biographic mention of any amateur radio activity is
found ONLY in amateur-radio-interest publications and
websites.

. . want the rest of the list?

No. Common professional names are easy to fake or
impersonate. Especially the recluses such as Marlon
Brando (alleged to have used the pseudonym 'Martin
Brumby' in talking "all night long to ship traffic
in the Pacific" according to one in the UK). Note:
one "list" site has Brando's alleged licenses as
"WA6RBU" and "F0SGQ."

Some REAL people in the entertainment industry WERE
licensed radio amateurs. One is the author of the
novel "The French Atlantic Affair" wherein an on-
board passenger helps thwart hijackers of a fictitious
French ocean liner through a ham radio contact with a
Santa Monica, CA, amateur relaying to the Rand
Corporation. Good novel, long but suspenseful, was
made into a terribly-distorted two-part microseries
for TV. Look him up on Amazon. SK.

Roy Neal (professional name, SK), long-time KNBC-TV
reporter here, good air appearance, watched him work
before a remote camera at the LA Convention Center.
Retired from NBC a bit before (?) Bill Amidon, the
real licensed radio amateur who began selling iron
powder and ferrite cores in small quantities to radio
hobbyists.

Senator Barry Goldwater was a publicized licensed
radio amateur, no question. However, he wasn't (in
the absolute sense) an ACTOR. Now there's quite some
debate on whether or not politicians are actors, but
that is beside the point. :-)

I say if such happened, AMPAS would have some unkind words
for the League...and some wide-ranging PR contacts of its
own that the ARRL could never top... :-)

Sonny, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
(AMPAS) AND the Association of Film and Radio Artists
(AFTRA) aren't "small" or "hobby" organizations in the
Multi-BILLION-dollar industry of entertainment, something
that affects USA economy AND USA social fabric in a very
direct way. Calling a pro actor a HAM ACTOR is almost
an ultimate pejorative, a personal swear word against
them. Lots and lots of licensed, practicing legal typse
in this city make their living (very comfortable ones)
on defending/prosecuting those who cuss out high-income
professional actors or speak nasty to them. ARRL is very
SMALL potatoes in that scene...wouldn't stand a chance.

All you've stated in your non-illuminating babble of
"factoids" is UNPROVEN call sign owners or DEAD people.
The entertainment industry is constantly bringing up
NEW performers, constantly generating entertainment of
many kinds. WHERE are the licensed radio amateurs among
them? What have YOU done to get NEW folks into amateur
radio? Chip in some pocket change for a group gift of
(wow!) $100 "incentive" to become licensed with a code
test before 23 Feb 07? You can't hold back the dawn
by pinching coins from the petty cash drawer as
"incentive."

Now go back to dreaming dreams, olde tymer, like the
episode of shooting bears for naval intelligence. It
will make YOU feel very good. Won't matter one whit to
reality, though, it goes on without your bluster and
bravado.

Heh-heh. Mission accomplished Sweets, you met my expectations again.
Trolling you is sorta like chumming the bottom of a barrel full of
catfish, can't miss.

Yup, I got myself twisted around my own axle on this one and I stand
corrected. Interesting tale though. There were two well-known screen
actors whose given names were James Stewart. One was a Brit and was
N6KGB the other was a Pennsylvania-born USAF reserve flag officer who
was not a radio amateur. This link explains it nicely.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Granger

A question in my mind is whether Mike Griffin's (Dr. Michael D.
Griffin, NASA Director and NR3A) hormonally disturbed Robochick will
make the list. How 'bout a list of infamous hams . . ?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001289/

I recommend him in "King Solomon's Mines" and "Prisoner of Zenda."

Thank you ever so much for the cut-and-paste, Mr. Schleck.

All the licensed radio amateurs can now IDENTIFY with
ACTORS. "Actors" are those who play at being other
people. All will become FAMOUS as a result. Applause.

All is TRUTH if a licensed radio amateur says it is...
[yea, verily, verily...]

international highway of communications, it is now very quickly falling

Really? Not 'America Online?' :-)

Was Brando impersonating someone when he said that? Playing
a "part?" Is Larry King scrupulously 'honest' and totally
objective as an 'interviewer?' Brando fluffed a line?!?

Brando has been said to "impersonate others" on ham radio.
Why is it 'impossible' for him to IMPERSONATE someone he
may not be on broadcast TV? Marlon Brando is an excellent
ACTOR, no doubt.


Or Priscilla Presley.

Certainly. Though you have to look her up under her maiden name of
"Beaulieu" to find her in the callbook (N6YOS).

RIIIIGHTTTT..."Lou Lou Beaulieu"? :-) :-) :-)

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH. [sorry, couldn't hold it in...]

Will Donnie Osmond

There is a Donald Osmond of Tega Cay, SC, on www.qrz.com as
WD4SKT. However that bio states a birth year of 1954.
Singer-entertainer Donny Osmond was born in 1957 according
to The World Almanac. Looks good at 50.


N6KGB was not the actor credited as Jimmy Stewart ("It's a Wonderful

who appeared in credits by another name, Stewart Granger:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001289/

Tsk, I couldn't find any mention of 'amateur radio' on that

"Of course I did!" shouts a well-known transgendered
Sister..."a terrible MISTAKE, an ERROR, one of SO MANY!"


I recommend him in "King Solomon's Mines" and "Prisoner of Zenda."

OK, I'll call up Siskel Productions in Chicago and have
you booked on "Ebert and Roeper" as guest host. Sound
all right? Will you accept scale?

Sorry, but Leonard Maltin only reports solo...


Please give 'Andy Griffith' (WA7WYV) out in Pima, AZ, my very
best wishes. I hope he doesn't fall off his roof in Pacific

Oh, and I can't celebrate communion with W8JK in downtown

ARRL is a

All the PROFESSIONAL writers I know use the term "publisher."
Of course they also use the word "manufacturer" rather than the less
