Rafael Spots Several Radios in “Young Ones”

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Rafael Rodriguez, who writes:

Hi Thomas

Greetings from Colombia. Yesterday, I saw a movie called “Young Ones” (2014). It is about an apocalyptic future where water is the most precious resource.

In the film, radio is present through a station called “The Voice of the West shortwave”, which even has the slogan: “Where the airwaves live free”

A pair of radios are also shown, the first one seems to be a Sony 7600d and then an HF transceiver that I can’t recognize, a Handie also appears.

Interestingly, it shows a way to mark an agricultural robot so that whoever finds it can communicate with its owner via citizen band.

I hope it is of interest to you and the readers of The SWLing Post.

Bye and good DX

      I remember that. I believe it was in the 1960’s they called themselves “The Voice of the West. The west can and will win.”

    Cool to see these radios

    I enjoy spotting radios in movies and TV series too – the handhelds in Battlestar Galactica for example…

    Apropos the most precious resources, not in reference to the film, they’d be:
    Air
    Water
    Food
    Shelter
    Clothing
    Fuel

    I guess one could discuss the order after the first three
