Hi Thomas<\/p>\n

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

In the film, radio is present through a station called “The Voice of the West shortwave”<\/b>, which even has the slogan: “Where the airwaves live free”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I hope it is of interest to you and the readers of The SWLing Post.<\/p>\n

Bye and good DX<\/p>\n
