In the color episode with the band of gypsies ( so wild and free ) the large
shortwave radio supposedly worked on batteries ( never seen one that big that
works on batteries ). Being an amateur radio operator for 15 years doesnt make
me the final word on that but I did take notice.
It was interesting that when Goober held it at the end of the episode it
worked. When Andy tried to turn it on, he found the inner working parts of it
had been removed. The gypsies left town the moment their source of weather
knowledge was found out. Maybe it was " Behind the scenes Barney " that had
chased them down and confiscated their shortwave. And why was the whole town of
Mayberry being kept in the dark to the weather reports ( those that only a
shortwave broadcast could reveal )? All I can say is the weather people still
cant get it right !
ps. Always feel free to correct me on my insight. Sometimes I dont write about
episoded until after many days of viewing them.
