Paranoia - Harrison Ford movie

[Georgek5kg]

K8DSS and I went and saw the movie, Paranoia.  Harrison Ford played  the
part of a wealthy business man running a high tech company.  In his  office
were a number of Hallicrafters boat anchors.  Someone asked him  about them,
and he said that they were from his earlier years as a "ham radio  operator",
and that he "had built the radios".  Unless I fell  asleep, I think this
was the only mention of ham radio in the  movie.    
 
I don't think that even an Elecraft rig could have enhanced the portrayal  
of ham radio in the movie.  I gave it a 4 out of 10.
