I don't expect to get an answer from this, but I will put it out there just for fun.
Decades ago when I was about 12 I would go to the ymca for swimming and games.
There was kid just a year or two older that had a bike with radio and whip antenna
and from memory it was a ham radio.
Its a long time back, so unusual that a. kid would have a radio set up like that,
It could only be that he had a parent that was a ham.
This would be the Glendale Ca YMCA mid 60's.
Maybe this "ham" is still in town an is still a ham, it could happen.
