There is a David A. Letterman of Danville, PA, KE3NJ and a
Robert D. Letterman of Salinas, CA, N6UER. These appear to
be the only possible listings for him if he is a ham, and useing
his stage name.

I never even heard he was one...where did you hear?

Happy holidays, & 73.

I am pretty sure that he is very into shortwave listening, but not a
licensed ham. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I have gathered this from occaisional references on the show.

73, Dave

That's correct. A QST article not long ago on antique radio restoration
mentioned the fact that Letterman had a radio refurbished by the subject
of the article.
Not a ham as far as I know

Greetings to the group,

I believe David Letterman is an avid shortwave listener. His former director,
sorry can't think of his name (not 'Morty' that's his producer), is also a
shortwave fan. There was an article in QST a while back about the radios that
his director has and the one he bought for Letterman fo Christmas.

Did anyone ever notice that Bud Melman (Calvert
DeForest) looks alot like the inventor of the
triode, Lee DeForest? Is calvert related to him?

David Letterman is not an amateur radio operator. According to his
remarks on a recent show, he enjoys listening to shortwave radio. He
didn't say he was a ham.

According to the callsign server at
http://www.ualr.edu/doc/hamualr/hamualr.html, Dave is not licensed,
unless he is from Pennslyvania, - and we all know that isn't the case.
