4. Abdul: That’s an urban legend. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/.....er-911.htm and http://www.siouxcityjournal.co.....ing/?p=561

   It was a fabrication by a writer for Time magazine named Frank Pellegrini.

7. Toronto: Well based off of the telegraph key on the left of the table I would guess that’s Junior’s old ham radio station that he operated before joining the Signal Corps. I mean it is an amateur radio magazine, right? QST Journal? You think?

8. I almost forgot…the advertiser is a dead giveaway too. Hammerlund manufactured shortwave radios that looked suspiciously like the radio that upset you so much http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hammarlund.png
