Movies involving amateur radio
Rabbit Music
movies that somehow involve ham radio. I've seen Frequency. Are there any
others?
Thanks in advance!
Nick
Brucie
is a Novice and allegedly stars in a movie produced and directed by a guy
who calls himself Wrong Way.
I have yet to see the movie but I am told that she grunts out CQ in three
different octaves at speeds ranging from five wpm at the start of the movie
and builds her speed to 33 wpm at the climax.
I don't know the name of the movie but some of the guys here may be able to
shed some more light on it. I think the movie may have been made in Georgia
a few years ago and I saw a post that said the movie was being shown in the
Atlanta area.
Good luck with your search.

Two that come immediately to mind are "Contact" which appeared a few years back
and "The French Atlantic Affair", from the 1970s.
Although it's not amateur radio, "A Night To Remember" (1956?) depicts the role
early radio played in the Titanic disaster. The 1997 James Cameron movie
"Titanic" almost ignores radio.

Many years ago there was a "short subject" movie series called "Pete Smith
Specials". A ham built a homebrew rig using a bunch of cake pans etc as
chasses.
The ham contacted a station speaking Chinese language. Real DX. When the
camera was redirected, it turned out the Chinese-speaking station was a
Chinese ham in a house right next door.

It was a nice movie, although Jodie Foster had a weird way of calling "CQ." I'm
not sure she'd actually heard any hams on the air...
>and "The French Atlantic Affair", from the 1970s.
The French Atlantic Affair was a mini TV series -- I don't recall seeing it, but
I read the novel, and it's one of the best fictional books about ham radio
you'll ever read, if you can find it (out of print -- but Amazon.com has it,
used).
It was written by Ernest Lehman, K6DXK, who is one of Hollywood's top
screenwriters (King and I, West Side Story, North by Northwest, Sound of Music,
Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf, etcetera). There's a lotta detailed stuff about a
ham running an Atlas 210 rig.

Probably a bit too British for most Merrycans, but there is always Tony
Hancock in 'The Radio Ham'. Not really a movie... one of a BBC TV half-
hour comedy series from the 60s. Considered 'a classic' over here, along
with 'The Blood Doner'. Of course, in reality there are no radio
amateurs as ludicrous and incompetent as the character portrayed by
Hancock.... well, maybe a just few...

Heathkit SB-300 or 301 receiver! With the cover removed so that you could
see the fire-bottles.
So, I guess that if you can talk back in time and thereby alter the future,
as the story unfolds, then a receiver works as well as anything. But my 301
in 1970 would never do anything except listen! <:}

Been there, done that...I should've guessed the quite native sounding
German pinning out the meter on the old DX-392 was just a couple
blocks away.
Had me thinking I'd built one heck of an antenna, until he ID'd with a

Isn't that where "CQ" originally came from?

Not as bad as the Bruce Willis 'Die Hard' movie where everyone (Police, Bad
Guys, CBers, Fire Department, Air Traffic Control, etc.) all used a single
channel. And all their walkie talkies were full duplex and you could tell
instantly if someone 'hung up' on you. Very distracting.
Reticulum
I can give you some feedback here as I just put out a similar post on
r.r.a.boatanchors a few weeks ago.
The movie "Hatari" with John Wayne has lots of radio action. They work
both a base station boatanchor and go mobile on VHF (?? ) several times.
No one uses a call sign and it must have been quite an experience for any
ham back then to be DX'ing and suddenly stumble upon hard-drinking, cursing
Trappers ragchewing illegally (?) on the radio. It's shown several times a year
on cable, check it out.
. A truck and a 4X4 going full tilt across the African Savanna in
pursuit of a charging Rhino that repeatedly rams the truck with his big ugly
tusk while the two teams stay in touch and "work" the rhino via VHF (? based
on apparent antenna length). Fun movie, but not for women's libbers. Hard to
say if it's a cool take on radio given the multi-mode "action-style" usage or
poor continuity due to lack of legal Ham procedure. You decide. One of those
movies made back when men were men and women were proud of 'em.

"The Thing" , James Arness vers. Actuall, I think it's more
properly called "The Thing From Another World !".
No ham per se, but I recall milcomms, arctic base stations
( portable?) , and maybe aero-mobile as well. I recall a few
scenes of Radio Op. twiddling dials over static, etc. while
captain urges him to "keep trying!!". Or somesuch . Maybe
not much for Ham ,though a real fun flick Those of you who
feel good grounding is irrelevant suggest you watch the
shocking climax. Others know what I mean.<grin>

Each to his own I suppose. I saw it in the theatres when it was 1st released
and was thrilled by it as a little boy. Also, think the theme song about the
cute baby elephants is a classic and maybe won an Oscar. None of this
makes it a good movie, but like I said, each to his own. Besides, even
today I still lust for that pouty French girl and wonder why. Ce'st la Vie.

Here's another:
TCM just last month showed a movie called "Angry Red Planet."
TCM emphasized it's "Red Scare" aspects and it's over the top
fer sure! B-Movie Extraordinaire and lots of Radio action.
Made in the fifties, it stars Peter Graves and dates from the 50's.
Peter is a scientist doing EME ( Earth-MARS-Earth) bounces

secret Commie plot !! No kidding. Even my kids got into this one
due to the bizarre lab props Graves had. Peter Graves working

Is it just me, or was anybody else annoyed at the way the prof could
make anything in the world, but couldn't make one of those
bicycle-generator things he was so fond of power some sort of
transmitter?
The receiver they always had, and some other standard boat stuff
should have provided all the components he would've needed for a
really simple QRP CW rig, and I doubt you'd have to sit on one
frequency sending SOS for too terribly long before someone heard and
started DFing your signal.
Maybe the island had really restrictive CC&R's... ;)

"The French Atlantic Affair". It was pretty good, with a plot about
some downsized NASA folks hijacking a cruise ship.
Hero was a vacationing Amateur who brought his HF transceiver
along. As I recall, it was a Swan, but the resolution *still* could
have happened!
I don't know if it ever made it to video, but I couldn't find any
reference to it. They may have changed the title at some point.

find out. However, I think you should of checked out your search a bit
more, because I believe that some of them, such as Radio Riot and Radio
Rhythm, are actually about amateur broadcasting or pirate radio.

Geeze.."Depends Day" was a "B" grade movie made by Saliva Sally and Wrong
Way...She still resides in a dental rental in Hiram, Georgia. Sally Saliva
holds a Novice ticket and can often be heard (illegally) in the General
portions of the Ham bands.
Sally and her latest love, The Enjunear, are often heard bouncing around the
220 MHz areas of the Novice Band...they use this band to coordinate stops at
the local liquor stores and check-cashing outlets.
Saliva Sally has made at least one movie for which she is most famous.
For more information about Saliva Sally's movie, look at Mike's Package

Now we have to determine if she is "Sally Saliva" or "Saliva Sally". Only
Wrong Way knows for sure....

I've heard there's a late '30s/early '40s movie titled something like
"Here is Your Hobby: Ham Radio" or "This is Your Hobby: Ham Radio" or
somesuch. Supposedly it's been on TCM. There's also an Andy Rooney
movie where he's a ham (the second Boy's Town movie?), and one of the
Nancy Drew movies has Nancy's boy friend hamming it up with a full
rack (of radio equipment...) Not to mention that Bonita Granville was
a cutie...

Let me guess, it has an annoyingly cheerful announcer, and gives about
as much useful detail as 'Contact.'

There is fairly good Australian factual drama that was on South African TV
about 10 years ago called "Cyclone Tracy". The story of how the Northern
Territory capital, Darwin, was practically wiped out by a cyclone that was
"not supposed to be there" on Christmas day in 1974. The only ham in town

Anyway... Some time ago there was an old movie I saw, and I think
it was one of the early 'docudrama' type things. About WWII and
the bomb. Had to do with a HAM that was made suspect because
radio signals were coming from his neighborhood... The film was old
black and white, and looked to be made in the 40's, just after the war.
Didn't have that '50's feel' you get from movies starting about 51 or

Uhm... the movie was meant to be a paid advertisement for ham radio just as much
as Apocalypse Now is supposed to be an ad for joining the US Army.
As for full duplex - that's Hollywood for you. In their world cars start without
keys, no one closes the door behind him, automatic machine gun fire misses the
lead actor from five feet, people always enter dark areas when chased by a
killer, spilling coffee on keyboards causes nuclear meltdowns, and so on...

Great! It looks like a good movie, though. You can't really expect these
Hollywood writers to get everything right, but you'd think they'd research
the background info better, huh?

Actually, before I got my license, I monitored a distress call from a ship
and a ham handled the emergency situation and got the appropriate help for
those people. That's when I decided to become a ham.
