Our Radio Amateurs, Harper's Magazine article, vol. 183, October 1941
This is an interesting article in the general interest magazine, Harper's, from October 1941.
The article was mentioned in the November 1941 QST:
Two items in particular caught my eye:
1) Judy Garland was a ham radio operator ? That's amazing. Hoover I knew about but not Garland. Her name originally was Frances Gumm so it might be possible to find her in a callbook ? I looked in the Fall 1940 Callbook in area 6 but didn't find anything under Gumm or Garland.
2) The story of the FL hams who go to visit a fellow net participant is very memorable:

The article also mentions the then ongoing war and that ham radio would change when the USA enters the war.
