    Buzz Lightyear QRV?

    According to this post on the ARRL web site...

    http://www.arrl.org/news/actor-tim-a...icket-for-real

    Tim Allen doesn't just play a ham on TV, he's one for real! He was licensed as KK6OTD September 4th (under his real name, not his stage name)

    How about that?

    Tim Allen Dick. I wonder why he changed it?

    By the way, the address he used for the FCC is a largish warehouse in North Hollywood that houses several business of which he's head honcho.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I'll take two.

    They come "barefoot" at 400 W PEP output. You know, of course, what THAT means...

    MORE POWER!

    I think this is great. It appears that others that work on the show have taken an interest as well.

    I bet he could get quite a pileup if he gets on the air. Hopefully he will get his General so he can get down on the REAL BANDS!

    Do we have a smiley for grunts? I didn't see one.

    I'll bet.

    I wonder if he was part of the K6H special event station last Sunday? (And now I wish I'd heard them during the small amount of time I was in the shack on Sunday)

    I doubt he has a real interest in it. it'll be a fad for a few months then when people lose interest in it, his interest will just fade away. Nice to get the Hollywood promotion for ham radio but it's a hollow one IMHO
