On the January 6, 1965 - "Why I'm Such A Sorehead" show, Shep tells how they used to tolerate Ray in order to meet Gil who was W9JZA on ham radio. Gil was on the radio with W9PLW and let Shep and the others each have a turn talking. From that moment, Shep was hooked. He was also mentioned on the January 24, 1963 "Getting Ham License" show.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
