CNN converts studio mics to Astatic D-104s !

Credit to K0SF for sending me this.

Check out the D-104 in the background !

Will FOX counter with a hot blonde caressing an E-V 664 ?

 

link for pic is dead, The source likely won't allow hot-linking.

 

Try again. My bad, shoulda used known method. Thanks for pointing out quickly! 73 John

 

Somewhat related - anyone know the story why David Ferehty has a D104 on his set desk?

 

They're just props --- something to "dress the set".
Like the bookshelves, world globes, flowers, and other nick-nacks they you'll see in the background -- which often is just a "Green Screen" image, not even a real set.
No particular reason they're D-104's ... except perhaps that they "look olde timie" or that the prop dept. happened to have one laying around.

 

Gray base no less.

 

I always encourage competition.

 

You mean there really isn't a window behind him so we can see all those local buildings? I have noticed that there never seems to be any rainy weather "outside".

 

Whoa! great catch !! (y'all check out the desk, carefully ...)

 

To most of the general public who even noticed the out-of-focus mic in that video clip, if they recognised it at all, the D-104 probably invoked an image of CB more than of ham radio.
