"W6N calling G7W"... Omega-TI's "Retro" post above is a scene from the James Bond film "Dr No". The scene features Dolores Keaton as Commander John Strangway's secretary operating a clandestine radio set calling MI6 in London. Strangways and her deaths result in 007 being sent to Jamaica. Here's the movie scene, complete with radio callsigns (the radio stuff starts at about 1:00 min into the clip). Keep watching past her murder to see the radio room for G7W in London -

That's a good one Lauri, I like the details. Mom is very serious but dad's laughing in the background.

The ham operator is just transmitting the information just the way he's hearing it. Check out that phone.

That chiseled crew at the station LOL. The beards all look the same. Junior doesn't know what to think as everyone is laughing at him. I noticed the upside down globe. :D

Give this man person.....

I detest "political correctness", in any form and I will not allow anyone to control my speech through self-censoring or intimidation, and through it my thought processes. Until my dying day, I will still refer to a man as a man and a woman will still be referred to by me as a woman. If some Woke snowflake doesn't like it, tough. I'm not going to play the word game of the month to pacify anyone's creeping agenda.
