Thanks for sharing.
 
Never heard this Shep show, believe it aired around 1975.  At that point I was newly graduated from college and living in an apartment in New London, CT, didn’t have any ham    gear set up except my EH Scott SLRM shipboard receiver on a random wire inside the apartment, no good
reception of the NYC broadcast stations.

Make sure you hang in a listen to this episode until the very end…..in typical Shep fashion he heads way off topic at one point but he pulls off the guard rails and back on topic before the grand finale.

One of the best Shep ham radio stories for sure, right up there with the one where his bedroom station at home had his antenna take a direct lightning hit while he was on the air on 20 CW.
